Zotero MCP Code Execution Skill

Search your Zotero library using code execution for safe, efficient, comprehensive searches.

🎯 Core Concept

Instead of calling MCP tools directly (which loads all results into context and risks crashes), write Python code that:

  1. Fetches large datasets (50-100+ items per strategy)
  2. Filters and ranks in code execution environment
  3. Returns only top N results to context

Benefits:

  • ✅ No crash risk (large data stays in code)
  • ✅ Automatic multi-strategy search
  • ✅ Automatic deduplication
  • ✅ Automatic ranking
  • ✅ One function call instead of 5-10
