dsh-zotero
Connects local Zotero libraries to DeepSeek Harness to search, read, retrieve evidence, and export citations.
Install
$ dsh plugin --profile <name> add dsh-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
- Search Zotero items across libraries, collections, tags, and full text (zotero_search)
- Browse collection hierarchies, saved searches, and item tag facets (zotero_browse)
- Inspect item metadata, attached notes, and PDF annotations (zotero_get, zotero_children)
- Retrieve BM25-ranked evidence passages from full-text and annotations (zotero_retrieve)
- Resolve attachment references to validated local disk paths (zotero_attachment)
- Export citations and bibliographies in BibTeX, BibLaTeX, RIS, and CSL JSON (zotero_export)
- Integrate web settings card into DSH for API and search parameter configuration
Useful For
- Academic research and paper literature reviews driven by AI agents
- Evidence-backed question answering grounded in personal Zotero libraries
- Automating reference lookups and bibliography generation for research drafts
Who It Fits
- Researchers, academics, and students managing research libraries in Zotero
- Technical writers and analysts requiring cited literature evidence in DeepSeek Harness
Documented Limitations
- Requires local Zotero 7+ running with 'Allow other applications to communicate' enabled
- Operates strictly read-only and does not modify Zotero items, tags, or collections
- Restricted to local loopback HTTP communication (127.0.0.1:23119)
- Full-text search passages depend on Zotero's local indexing
- Evidence passage ranking is BM25 keyword-frequency based rather than semantic dense vector search
DSH Compatibility
Version-specific runtime evidence collected by DSH Plugin. A missing result means we have not tested that combination yet.
