OverTex.ai
MCP skill and server for Overleaf and LaTeX. Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client can pull a project, edit the .tex, check refs, compile if a TeX binary is installed, and push back.
Not affiliated with Overleaf. Git sync uses Overleaf’s official Git bridge and needs a plan that includes it.
