// cómo funciona

Cómo funciona

  1. Clarify your goal

    Decide the first concrete outcome you want from it, so you can pick the right example, template or mode instead of exploring everything at once.

  2. Get the project

    Clone the repository (or install the published package) and skim its README quick start for the requirements for your platform.

  3. Install and configure

    Run the documented install step and set any required configuration — such as provider keys, data sources or local services — before the first run.

  4. Run your first task

    Execute the smallest documented example end to end, confirm the output is what you expected, then adapt it to your real data or workflow.

// características

Por qué gusta tanto

Grounded paper chat

Chat with papers in your library with conservative citation navigation to the source.

Agent Mode (beta)

Multi-step research workflows: find related papers, apply tags, write notes, with cache-aware context.

Skills and web search

Customisable skills for research workflows, plus Tavily-powered general web search with source links attached.

MinerU PDF parsing

Higher-fidelity extraction for tables and formulas, with local-server and cache controls.

Flexible model access

Provider API keys, WebChat sync, Codex app server (ChatGPT Plus) or Claude Code mode — your choice.

Notes your way

Zotero notes or file-based Markdown notes saved to local folders such as an Obsidian vault.

  1. Clone the repository

    Get the source so you can inspect, configure and run it locally.

    git clone https://github.com/yilewang/llm-for-zotero.git
    cd llm-for-zotero
  2. Install the plugin

    Download the latest .xpi from Releases and install it in Zotero via Tools → Add-ons → Install Add-on From File, then restart Zotero.

    # Download the .xpi from https://github.com/yilewang/llm-for-zotero/releases
    # Zotero: Tools -> Add-ons -> gear -> Install Add-on From File
  3. Configure and open a paper

    In Preferences → llm-for-zotero choose a provider, enter base URL/key/model and Test Connection — or pick WebChat/Codex to avoid an API key — then open a PDF and click the LLM Assistant icon.

Preguntas frecuentes

Who maintains llm-for-zotero?

It is maintained by yilewang on GitHub (yilewang/llm-for-zotero), where the source, issues and releases live.

Is it free to use?

Yes — it is free and open source under AGPL-3.0; note the copyleft terms apply if you distribute modified versions or run it as a network service.

Does it need a paid API key?

Your choice — use a provider API key, or avoid one via WebChat sync or a ChatGPT Plus subscription through the Codex app server, as the README documents.

How does it compare to Zotero's built-in PDF reader alone or a generic chatbot with uploads?

Compared with Zotero's built-in PDF reader alone or a generic chatbot with uploads, llm-for-zotero's distinguishing focus is: an open-source research agent system that lives inside your Zotero library. Pick it when that focus matches your need; the alternative may suit you better if its broader or different scope is the priority.

How do I get started?

Clone https://github.com/yilewang/llm-for-zotero (or install its published package), follow the README quick start to install and configure it, then run the smallest documented example — the Run section on this page mirrors those steps.
