About paperboy

An MCP server that delivers research papers and books to your e-reader, with Zotero as the source of truth. Ask Claude for a reading list, then say "queue them and send to my Kindle." (MCP is the plugin protocol Claude uses: this program runs on your machine or your cloud project, and Claude calls its tools during conversation.) Works locally in Claude Code and Claude Desktop; a Cloud Run deployment adds claude.ai and the Claude mobile app, so papers can be sent from a phone (docs/deploy.md).

Two things are kept separate: delivering a paper to your device and cataloguing a work in Zotero. You can do either. A book you own, a paywalled reference, or a PDF you already have can all be tracked in the library without being staged for the e-reader.

Zotero itself is optional: without it you can still search and send papers one-off. The reading queue, collections, and duplicate protection across sessions need it.

You ask Claude for papers; it uses paperboy's tools to find, queue, and deliver them. What that looks like in practice:

- Papers you queue land in a Reading Queue collection in Zotero, created on demand. - Once a paper reaches your device, paperboy tags it sent-to-ereader in Zotero, so it skips papers already sent to your e-reader, even in a later conversation. (Without Zotero there's no memory between sends, so this protection needs it.) - Claude can file papers into your topical collections too. It proposes one from the paper's topic and your existing collection names, and asks you when the fit is unclear. A paper can sit in several collections at once, so filing nev
