HOW TO READ THIS REPORT

Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface cookjohn/zotero-mcp, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.

    Why:

    CURRENT
    Zotero MCP is an open-source project designed to seamlessly integrate powerful AI capabilities with the leading reference management tool, Zotero, through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This project consists of two core components: a Zotero plugin and an MCP server, which work together to provide AI assistants (like Claude) with the ability to interact with your local Zotero library.
    COPY-PASTE FIX
    Zotero MCP empowers AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT to directly access and interact with your Zotero library, overcoming the traditional barrier between AI tools and academic reference management. This open-source project provides a Zotero plugin and an MCP server for seamless integration.
