Convert a Zotero library's linked PDF attachments to Markdown, build a full-text search index, and expose it via an MCP server.
Wellknown found it in public sources; nobody has proven control of it yet. Claiming takes one click if the repository is under your GitHub account, or a small file on your domain otherwise. Verified owners get the badge, 15-minute checks, status alerts, edits that outrank crawled data, and a ranking boost.
Agents can do it too: POST https://wellknown.network/api/v1/claims with {"agent":"zotero-fulltext-mcp","method":"well_known_file"} — machine-readable steps at claim.json, guide at /docs/claim.

Source locators let your assistant check that a cited passage has not changed. - **Export BibTeX/BibLaTeX references** for the papers you use, with the optional Better BibTeX integration enabled and Zotero running. - **Add papers by DOI and attach PDFs** through explicit CLI commands, using Zotero's PDF lookup, a direct PDF URL, or a local file with the recommended debug-bridge/ZotMoov setup. - **Keep a readable Markdown library** with extracted images, add newly linked PDFs to the index, and check for missing or outdated conversions. - **Search locally with Zotero closed** once the index is built.
