Plugin 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.

source-grounded

dsh-zotero is a DeepSeek Harness plugin that integrates local Zotero libraries directly into agent research workflows. It provides tools for full-text search, item browsing, metadata reading, BM25 evidence retrieval, attachment path verification, and citation export in formats like BibTeX and RIS. By default, it operates strictly read-only, connecting over a local loopback API to keep citations and research notes secure within the workspace.

Key Capabilities

Search Zotero items by title, author, year, or full-text index across libraries and collections
Browse collections, saved searches, item hierarchies, and tag facets
Read structured item metadata, notes, and annotations
Extract relevant evidence passages from indexed attachments via BM25 retrieval
Resolve and verify local attachment file paths without running external binaries
Export formatted citations and bibliography items as BibTeX, BibLaTeX, RIS, or CSL JSON
Optional write actions guarded by session approval and local write authorization

Useful For

Retrieving cited evidence and quotes from literature directly inside agent chat sessions
Building academic bibliographies and generating citation formats like BibTeX or RIS
Browsing local Zotero collections and notes for research synthesis and literature reviews

Who It Fits

Researchers, academics, and students managing literature libraries with Zotero
Developers and analysts utilizing DeepSeek Harness for scientific document exploration

Documented Limitations

Requires Zotero desktop (Zotero >= 7 for read, Zotero 10 for write) running with local API enabled
Full-text passage extraction relies on Zotero's local full-text index and cannot extract text from unindexed PDFs
Read-only by default; write operations require explicit configuration and user approval
