Zotio is a library management and automation tool published by OrgMentem, designed to bring checks, search, and workflow automation to Zotero reference libraries. The software centers on local-first search, meaning users can query and work with their Zotero collections directly on their own machines rather than depending on a remote service. Alongside search, zotio provides CI health gates, allowing teams and individuals to enforce quality and integrity checks on their libraries as part of continuous integration pipelines, so that problems in bibliographic data can be caught automatically before they propagate. Its preview-first writes capability ensures that modifications to a library are presented for review before being committed, giving users a chance to inspect and confirm changes rather than applying them blindly. The tool also supports workflows, enabling repeatable, automated sequences of operations against Zotero data, and integrates with MCP, extending its functionality into environments that use that protocol. These capabilities position zotio within the reference management and developer tooling categories, where it serves use cases such as maintaining large research bibliographies, validating citation data in automated pipelines, scripting routine library maintenance tasks, and connecting Zotero collections to broader automation ecosystems. Researchers, librarians, and engineering-minded users who treat their reference data as something to be tested and versioned can employ zotio to keep libraries consistent and healthy over time. The current release of zotio is version 0.25.0, and the software has seen fifteen published versions in total, indicating an active development history with iterative refinement of its feature set. The pre-1.0 version numbering reflects a project that continues to evolve as its capabilities around search, automation, health gating, and preview-based writing mature. OrgMentem distributes zotio as a tool aimed at making Zotero library management more rigorous, scriptable, and safe.
