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 connects your agent directly to a local Zotero desktop instance over its local API. It enables searching library items, reading PDF attachments and annotations with exact page references, exporting citations, and reviewing cited items in a dedicated Sources conversation tab.

Key Capabilities

  • Search local Zotero libraries by title, author, year, collections, tags, or full text
  • Parse and retrieve passages from full-text PDFs, notes, and annotations with page numbers
  • Export formatted citations and bibliographic records in BibTeX, RIS, or CSL JSON
  • Display cited literature in an interactive Sources UI tab within the chat interface
  • Execute user-confirmed write operations such as creating notes and managing tags
  • Optional scholarly cross-database querying across arXiv, Crossref, and Semantic Scholar

Useful For

  • Literature reviews and synthesizing findings from local research papers
  • Finding exact citations and quotes with page numbers inside PDF attachments
  • Exporting bibliographic records into BibTeX for paper drafting
  • Organizing reading notes and tagging references during conversational analysis

Who It Fits

  • Academic researchers and scholars
  • Students conducting literature searches
  • Knowledge workers maintaining reference libraries in Zotero

Documented Limitations

  • Requires local Zotero 7+ (or Zotero 10 for write capabilities) running on the same machine with local API enabled
  • Write tools and the scholarly external search component are disabled by default
  • Only interacts with the local Zotero HTTP API on 127.0.0.1:23119 and does not use cloud sync directly
