zotero — Codex plugin: what it does, how to install

Connects the Zotero desktop app with Codex and ChatGPT to search your research library, export BibTeX, and insert citations.

Open on GitHub

What zotero does

This plugin links Codex and ChatGPT directly to your personal Zotero library. You can query saved papers, look up specific citations, and bring bibliographic records straight into your workspace.

It handles BibTeX exports for papers drafted in LaTeX. Inserting inline citations and importing new references happens directly inside the session.

Communication depends entirely on the running Zotero desktop application. Without the desktop app active on your machine, Codex cannot reach your references.

What it helps with

  • search papers in your personal Zotero library
  • export bibliographic entries into BibTeX for LaTeX documents
  • insert reference citations directly into manuscript drafts
  • import new research references into the Zotero desktop app

Example prompts for the agent

  • Search my Zotero library for papers on neural networks and export them as BibTeX
  • Insert a citation from Zotero for the 2023 Smith study into this section
  • Import the reference details for this research paper into Zotero
