CLI harness for Zotero.
cli-anything-zotero
`cli-anything-zotero` is an agent-native CLI for Zotero desktop. It does not reimplement Zotero. Instead, it composes Zotero's real local surfaces:
Installation
pip install -e .
Entry Points
cli-anything-zotero
python -m cli_anything.zotero
Important Constraints
- `search items`, `item export`, `item citation`, and `item bibliography` require Zotero's Local API to be enabled.
- `note add` depends on the live Zotero GUI context and expects the same library to be selected in the app.
- Import-time PDF attachment support is limited to items created in the same connector session; arbitrary existing-item attachment upload is still out of scope.
- Experimental SQLite write commands are local-only, user-library-only, and should be treated as non-stable power-user operations.
- If a bare key is duplicated across libraries, set `session use-library <id>` before follow-up commands.
