Overleaf MCP Server

An MCP server that integrates with Overleaf's Git feature, allowing you to manage Overleaf projects directly from your MCP-enabled environment (like Cursor).

Features

  • Clone Projects: Clone Overleaf projects to your local machine using the Project ID.

  • Pull Changes: Sync latest changes from Overleaf to your local copy.

  • Push Changes: Commit and push your local edits back to Overleaf.

  • Get Status: Check the status of your local repository (modified files, etc.).

  • Authentication Management: Securely configure and store your Overleaf Git credentials.

Installation

  1. Clone this repository:

    git clone https://github.com/juho127/overleafMCP.git cd overleafMCP
  2. Install dependencies:

    npm install

    "args": ["/path/to/overleafMCP/build/index.js"] } } }

### Other Clients (e.g., Cursor) For other MCP-supported clients like Cursor: 1. Go to **Settings** > **Features** > **MCP Servers**. 2. Click **+ Add New**. 3. Enter the command to run the server: - Command: `node` - Args: `/absolute/path/to/overleafMCP/build/index.js` (Replace with your actual path) ## Usage ### Authentication Before using the git tools, you should configure your authentication. You can find your Git token in your Overleaf Account Settings. **Tool**: `configure_auth` - `email`: Your Overleaf email address. - `token`: Your Overleaf Git token (or password). ### Cloning a Project **Tool**: `clone_project` - `projectId`: The ID from your Overleaf project URL (e.g., `65a1b2c3d4e5f6...`). - `localPath`: Absolute path where you want to clone the project. ### Managing Changes - **Pull**: Use `pull_changes` to get updates from Overleaf. - **Status**: Use `get_status` to see what files you've changed. - **Push**: Use `push_changes` to save your work back to Overleaf. ## License MIT
