Zotero-MCP – Connect Your Research Library with Your AI Assistant

Hi all! I forgot to share my project here, but since it just got over 1.2k calls on smithery, I figured that people here may be interested in giving it a try! Essentially it allows you to easily connect your zotero library to any LLMs through a MCP client, enabling the LLMs to read the papers that you collected, your notes, and the annotations - and it works both on your local and cloud library. Check this out! I would love to hear your feedback. :)

Zotero-MCP – Connect Your Research Library with Your AI Assistant launched on April 28, 2025 with 10 votes, #3,208 of 7,818 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.

In plain words

Zotero-MCP is a tool that connects a Zotero research library to large language models through an MCP client. It allows AI assistants to access and read papers, notes, and annotations stored in a user's Zotero collection, whether stored locally or in the cloud. The tool is designed for researchers and academics who want their AI assistants to have access to their research materials during conversations and analysis.

    I was looking around for an MCP server that could connect Anna's Archive to Claude Desktop, as I wanted to be able to search and download books directly through the interface. I couldn't find any public implementations, so ended up building one myself. What it does? - It searches Anna's Archive by keywords. - It downloads books from search results. - It works directly in Claude Desktop through MCP. Check out the repository's README for detailed installation and configuration instructions. The code is fully open source and builds run on GitHub Actions for transparency. I figured I'd share,…

    Open-Source MCP Server for Context and AI Tools2025 · ▲43

    Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful, but they’re limited by fixed context windows and outdated knowledge. What if your AI could access live search, structured data extraction, OCR, and more—all through a standardized interface? We built the JigsawStack MCP Server, an open-source implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that lets any AI model call external tools effortlessly. Here’s what it unlocks: - Web Search & Scraping: Fetch live information and extract structured data from web pages. - OCR & Structured Data Extraction: Process images, receipts, invoices, and handwritten…

  • Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
