Integrations

Papero works with the tools you already use. You can bring your references in from Zotero or Mendeley, save papers from the web while you read, and use Papero from Claude or ChatGPT.

In this section

Import from Zotero: bring in your Zotero library with a read-only API key, keep your Zotero collections, and import again in one click.
Import from Mendeley: sign in at Mendeley and bring in your library, with your folders as collections.
The Chrome extension: save the paper you are reading with Papero Web Importer, from a side panel or an Add to Papero button on the page.
Connect Papero to Claude or ChatGPT: add the Papero connector, so the assistant can search papers, format references and read your documents.

Where to find it

Settings > Integrations holds a card for each one. Open the account menu at the foot of the sidebar (it shows your email address) and choose Settings.
On the Library page, Import offers From Zotero, From Mendeley and From the web (Chrome extension), next to From a file (.bib, .ris).
The apps you connected through the connector are listed under Connected apps, in Settings > Integrations.

Which one to use

Your references are in Zotero: import from Zotero. Each source keeps a link to its Zotero item, which helps when you export to Word on Plus.
Your references are in Mendeley: import from Mendeley.
Your references are in another tool, such as EndNote or Google Scholar: export them as a BibTeX or RIS file, then import the file.
You find papers as you browse: install the Chrome extension.
You work in Claude or ChatGPT: add the connector.

An import is a one-time copy, not a live link. Import again to bring over what you added since. Sources already in your library are matched and not added twice.

Free and Plus

Every integration here works the same on Free and Plus. Sources you import or save go into your library, where you can read, search, edit and cite them on both plans. Exporting your library as a BibTeX or RIS file is part of Plus. To compare the plans, see pricing.

Your data

Papero reads from Zotero and Mendeley only to import your references, and keeps a Zotero key only when you ask it to. The Chrome extension talks to Papero and nothing else. The connector is read-only, and you can revoke an app at any time. See the Privacy Policy for each one.

To see how they look, read the Chrome extension page and the connector page on papero.ai.
