What it does

Written by AI from the README

A local bridge that lets automation agents and scripts manage Zotero through a controlled set of operations. They can query items, create or update items and collections, link attachments, find duplicate attachments, and trash or erase by key. Requests are JSON files read from a folder, risky operations run as a dry run first, and a Python CLI is included.

For people who drive Zotero from scripts or AI agents and want predictable, auditable changes rather than arbitrary code.
