Install
$ dsh plugin --profile <profile> add dsh-plugin-zoteroPlugin Overview & Capabilities
AI-assisted organization based on the public repository snapshot. The content must be grounded in source evidence and does not replace compatibility or security verification.
Key Capabilities
- Read-only sidebar panel to browse Zotero collection trees, search items, and view metadata or fulltext attachments
- Insert single-item citations, highlighted excerpts, or collection summaries directly into DSH conversation drafts
- Integrated MCP bridge registering local Zotero tools with prefix mcp__zotero__* to the model
- Granular per-tool enabling and disabling via DSH plugin configuration UI with instant volatile updates
- Hardened local host router restricted to loopback and safe HTTP GET requests
Useful For
- Academic research and literature review workflows directly inside DeepSeek Harness
- Inserting citations, excerpts, and item keys into active AI prompts without switching windows
- Empowering AI models to search, retrieve, and organize local Zotero bibliographies via MCP
Who It Fits
- Researchers, academics, and students managing bibliographies in Zotero alongside DeepSeek Harness
- Knowledge workers seeking direct reference catalog integration inside conversation drafts
Documented Limitations
- Requires the local Zotero desktop client running with local API enabled
- Model MCP capabilities depend on an external running Zotero integrated MCP server (e.g. port 23120)
- Sidebar UI is strictly read-only and does not support creating, renaming, or deleting collections directly from the panel
- Client bundle changes require restarting DSH as hot reload is not supported
