Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:157-163 (handler)

  Handler for the 'configure_auth' tool: extracts email and token from arguments and delegates to AuthManager.saveConfig, returning success message.

  case 'configure_auth': {
      const { email, token } = request.params.arguments as any;
      await authManager.saveConfig({ email, token });
      return {
          content: [{ type: 'text', text: 'Successfully configured authentication' }],
      };
  }

• src/index.ts:107-120 (schema)

  Input schema definition for the 'configure_auth' tool, specifying required email and token properties.

  inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
          email: {
              type: 'string',
              description: 'Overleaf account email',
          },
          token: {
              type: 'string',
              description: 'Overleaf git token',
          },
      },
      required: ['email', 'token'],
  },

• src/index.ts:104-121 (registration)

  Registration of the 'configure_auth' tool in the ListTools response, including name, description, and input schema.

  {
      name: 'configure_auth',
      description: 'Configure global Overleaf credentials',
      inputSchema: {
          type: 'object',
          properties: {
              email: {
                  type: 'string',
                  description: 'Overleaf account email',
              },
              token: {
                  type: 'string',
                  description: 'Overleaf git token',
              },
          },
          required: ['email', 'token'],
      },
  },

• src/auth-manager.js:13-17 (helper)

  AuthManager.saveConfig method: merges new config with existing and writes to ~/.overleaf-mcp/config.json.

  async saveConfig(config) {
      const current = await this.getConfig();
      const newConfig = { ...current, ...config };
      await fs.writeJson(CONFIG_FILE, newConfig, { spaces: 2 });
  }
