Security Notes
The primary security concern stems from the underlying Zotero Local API (port 23119) which inherently lacks authentication. If the MCP server is exposed on a network, any client can interact with it and, by extension, the local Zotero instance. The server itself does not introduce new code-level vulnerabilities like arbitrary code execution via user input. However, for remote Zotero setups, the user is explicitly responsible for configuring `netsh` port proxies and firewall rules, and for ensuring network security. No hardcoded secrets were identified, and API keys are expected to be provided via environment variables. Input validation is implemented prior to Zotero API calls.
