Why we included this project

Zotero users who juggle a large local PDF library will find this plugin most useful for questions that cut across many papers at once. Rather than opening one study at a time, you can ask how sample sizes or p-values differ across every clinical trial in a folder and get a synthesized answer, with citations you can click to jump straight to the source file. The C++ core indexes thousands of documents on your own machine in minutes, and its support for fully offline local models means none of your reading data ever has to leave your laptop. An MCP interface and an AutoPilot agent also take on batch jobs like overnight literature screening and let Zotero connect to agent-driven coding or research tools. Anyone managing a big academic library, from a single grad student to a lab group, will want to judge whether the cross-document accuracy is worth the setup effort.
