Field notes
The service exposes one MCP endpoint for Claude, Claude Code, and other MCP apps. Setup involves signing in and granting access through Zotero, where the page says permissions can be revoked. Its listed free allowance is 300 library requests, 20 PDF reads, and 25 saved or changed items each month. The reported source-checking benchmark covers three libraries of about 340 items apiece.
