letX

letX is a collaborative LaTeX editor. This plugin connects your AI assistant to your letX account, so you can work on LaTeX documents from the conversation: find a template, start a project, read and edit its files, and compile it to PDF, with the LaTeX errors reported by file and line so they can be fixed.

What it includes

  • The letX MCP server at https://api.letx.app/mcp. You sign in with your letX account (OAuth 2.1) and approve what the assistant may do: read letX's templates, read and edit your projects, and compile them. You can disconnect it at any time in letX under Settings, Connected apps.

  • Two skills:

    • compile-and-fix: compile LaTeX from the conversation or a letX project, and fix the errors it reports until the document builds.

    • start-from-template: find a template in letX's library and start a project from it.

What it sends and receives

The plugin runs no code on your machine and connects to nothing but the letX MCP server above. When the assistant calls a tool, letX receives that call's arguments (for example the file it writes or the project it compiles) and returns the result: project names and ids, file lists, the text of the files it reads, template details, compile results with the errors from the log, and a link that opens the PDF for an hour. letX does not receive your conversation. The details are in the privacy policy.

Requirements

A letX account. Using letX from an AI app is part of letX's paid plans, and in Claude a free account can try it for 7 days from its first connection. Plans are described at https://letx.app/pricing/.
