About Zotero MCP
The base install is lightweight — it includes search, metadata retrieval, annotations, and write operations. No ML/AI dependencies are pulled in. Heavy ML/PDF dependencies are separated into optional extras so the base install stays fast and small: For example, with uv: ```bash uv tool install "zotero-mcp-server[all]" # Full install with all features uv tool install "zotero-mcp-server[semantic]" # Just semantic search ```
