Struct Config

pub struct Config {
    pub zotero_sqlite_path: PathBuf,
    pub zotero_storage_path: PathBuf,
    pub bbt_migrated_path: PathBuf,
    pub zotero_api_key: Option<String>,
    pub zotero_library_id: String,
    pub zotero_library_type: String,
    pub bbt_url: String,
    pub log_level: LogLevel,
    pub writes_enabled: bool,
    pub resolver: ResolverConfig,
    pub zotero_api_base_url: Option<String>,
}

Server configuration, loaded from environment variables.

All paths have sensible defaults for a standard macOS Zotero installation. The API key is optional — without it, write tools return a clear error.

Fields

zotero_sqlite_path: PathBuf

Path to Zotero’s main SQLite database.

zotero_storage_path: PathBuf

Path to the Zotero storage directory (where PDFs live).

bbt_migrated_path: PathBuf

Path to BBT’s migrated citekey database.

zotero_api_key: Option<String>

Zotero Web API key (required for write operations).

zotero_library_id: String

Zotero library ID (default: personal library).

zotero_library_type: String

Zotero library type (“user” or “group”).

bbt_url: String

BBT JSON-RPC URL (only needed for BibTeX/bibliography export).

log_level: LogLevel

Log level for stderr diagnostics.

writes_enabled: bool

Whether write tools are enabled (default: false for safety). Set ZOTERO_MCP_ENABLE_WRITES=true to enable.

resolver: ResolverConfig

Paper resolver configuration (sources, timeouts, etc.). Loaded from TOML config file if present, otherwise defaults.

zotero_api_base_url: Option<String>

Override Zotero API base URL (for testing). None = use default.

Implementations

impl Config

pub fn from_env() -> Self

Load configuration from environment variables.

Reads .env file if present (via dotenvy), then environment variables. All variables have sensible defaults except ZOTERO_API_KEY.

pub fn has_write_access(&self) -> bool

Whether write operations are available (API key is configured).

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for Config

fn clone(&self) -> Config

Returns a duplicate of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.
