What it does

Description coming soon. We haven't written a summary yet. The line above is the developer's own description; the developer's README is linked above.

What you'll need

Detected automatically
  • An API key for some featuresWorks without one: The MCP server and its tools (PDF recognition, tasks, duplicates, health check) using a locally generated bearer token. Needs a key (OpenAI, Google Gemini, Alibaba DashScope, Zhipu, SiliconFlow, Voyage AI and OpenRouter): Semantic indexing (off by default) with a hosted embedding provider needs the user's own embedding API key.
  • Or: a model on your own computerIt can use a local model such as Ollama
  • Zotero 9Not working with Zotero 10
