An early-stage plugin for an embedded OPDS server inside Zotero; its README is still the template's and documents no features yet.
Zotero OPDS server has Atlas grade B (use with care) because it runs a server other computers on your network can reach. It's a Zotero 6 plugin, so Zotero 7 and later can't load it. What to use instead. Last checked 6 Nov 2026.
Downloads a .xpi file (0.02 MB). In Zotero, open Tools → Plugins and install it from the file.
In useAn estimate of how many copies of Zotero have it: Zotero downloads each new version once for every copy that has the plugin, so we count the downloads of its most-downloaded recent release. Rounded. Plugins that update from outside GitHub count low.
170
DownloadsAll-time downloads of its release files from GitHub, counting every update. Installs from elsewhere aren't counted.
570
ReleasesVersions published on GitHub. Everyone who has the plugin downloads each one again, which adds up in Downloads.
