zotio MCP

A local-first MCP server for Zotero that enables AI agents to perform library searches, check item retraction status via Crossref and Retraction Watch, validate bibliography citations, and execute preview-first writes. It bridges the gap between Zotero's desktop GUI and programmatic automation by providing bounded, provenance-tagged context for research libraries.
