What it does

Description coming soon. We haven't written a summary yet. The line above is the developer's own description; the developer's README is linked above.

What you'll need

Detected automatically
  • An API key for some featuresWorks without one: K10plus, DNB and CrossRef metadata searches (enabled by default, no key). Needs a key (Anthropic): Claude AI features (short title generation and Claude-based optimization) need an Anthropic API key.
  • Zotero 8, 9Not working with Zotero 10
