cli-anything-zotero

cli-anything-zotero is an agent-native CLI for Zotero desktop. It does not reimplement Zotero. Instead, it composes Zotero's real local surfaces:

Installation

pip install -e .

Entry Points

cli-anything-zotero
python -m cli_anything.zotero

Important Constraints

search items, item export, item citation, and item bibliography require Zotero's Local API to be enabled.
note add depends on the live Zotero GUI context and expects the same library to be selected in the app.
Import-time PDF attachment support is limited to items created in the same connector session; arbitrary existing-item attachment upload is still out of scope.
Experimental SQLite write commands are local-only, user-library-only, and should be treated as non-stable power-user operations.
If a bare key is duplicated across libraries, set session use-library <id> before follow-up commands.
