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 Entry Points 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.
