About this plugin

Researchers and students who regularly use Zotero for literature management often face tedious manual searches, readings, or organization, especially when integrating literature with AI agents. The dsh-zotero plugin addresses this by enabling DeepSeek Harness agents to directly access your Zotero library via a local API—no API key or cloud service required. Its core capabilities include searching items by keywords or filters, reading metadata and abstracts, listing collections and attachments, downloading PDFs to the session workspace, and even extracting full text, thereby supporting end-to-end workflows from literature discovery to content summarization. This plugin is ideal for users seeking efficient literature management, automated research assistance, or seamless Zotero-AI integration, such as academic writers, students, or data analysts, allowing them to focus more on analysis and creation rather than repetitive tasks.

Use Cases

  • Quickly search for papers on a specific topic in the Zotero library.
  • Read the full text of a paper and extract summaries.
  • Automatically download PDF attachments to the workspace.

Best For

  • Researchers who need efficient academic literature management.
  • Students wanting to integrate Zotero with AI tools.
  • Data scientists conducting automated literature analysis.
