Full changelog

Added

  • mendeley_get_annotations — your PDF highlights and sticky notes on a document, with note text, color, and page numbers. The single most useful signal of what you marked as important in a paper
  • mendeley_update_document — update bibliographic fields on an existing document; only supplied fields change
  • mendeley_delete_document — permanently delete a document (the tool instructs the model to confirm with you first)
  • mendeley_remove_document_from_folder — completes the move-between-folders loop
  • mendeley_export_bibtex — export one document or a whole folder as BibTeX, generated by Mendeley itself

Fixed

  • File download never worked against the live API — Mendeley returns the download URL via a 303 See Other redirect, which the client treated as an error. Found by live testing against a real library
  • Credential loading locked out pre-0.2.0 logins — older logins never stored the client secret in the keyring, and 0.2.0 refused to load without it

All 17 tools in this release were verified end-to-end against the live Mendeley API.

Install: pip install mendeley-mcp==0.3.0
