For a normal Dirichlet generating function like $Zeta[s]^2$, I can get the coefficient of the n-th term by applying Dirichlet convolution of the two constant functions. But how to find the coefficient of the n-th term of a Dirichlet generating functions like $1/(2-Zeta[s])$ or $Zeta[s-1]$? It seems there is no function in Mathematica to find the coefficient directly(c.f. to get the coefficient of a formal power series by using SeriesCoefficient[...]). Please be advised, thanks!

Let $F(s)=\sum_na_nn^{-s}$ be some Dirichlet series that converges absolutely at $\Re(s)=\sigma$. Then we have
$$ \lim_{T\to\infty}{1\over2iT}\int_{\sigma-iT}^{\sigma+iT}F(s)x^s\mathrm ds= \begin{cases} a_n & x=n \\ 0 & \text{otherwise} \end{cases} $$
Perhaps plugging this integral into Mathematica would work.
