Why teams connect Zotero
Trooper agents connect to Zotero through secure OAuth or API credentials synced to your private OpenClaw server.
Connect Codex to your Zotero desktop library so it can find saved papers, export BibTeX, add citation keys to drafts, read indexed attachment text when you ask, and import new reference records into Zotero with your approval.
Every action runs as a traced ticket on the unified board. Combine Zotero with GitHub, Gmail, Slack, and 1,000+ other plugins in multi-agent workflows.
Autonomous execution
Trooper agents call Zotero APIs directly — search, read, write, and report back on traced tickets.
Approval gates
Sensitive writes wait for your authorization. Agents propose; you approve; the system executes.
Multi-agent workflows
Combine Zotero with GitHub, Gmail, Slack, and 1,000+ plugins on one OpenClaw-powered board.
Automate Zotero playbooks.
Source sweeps, synthesis memos, and monitors — Zotero keeps research loops on rails.
