Compiles LaTeX documents and inspects the resulting PDF, supporting a write-compile-check-revise workflow for LaTeX projects.
Integrates with Overleaf's open-source CLSI (Common LaTeX Service Interface) to compile LaTeX documents and inspect the resulting PDF, enabling an autonomous write-compile-check-revise loop.
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@latex-mcp compile main.tex and open the PDF preview"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
An open-source Model Context Protocol server that lets LLMs (Claude, Codex, Gemini/Antigravity, and other MCP-compatible clients) compile LaTeX documents and inspect the resulting PDF — enabling a fully autonomous write → compile → check → revise loop.
It talks to a self-hosted instance of Overleaf's open-source CLSI (Common LaTeX Service Interface) over HTTP, and also exposes a small web UI (in the spirit of Overleaf's editor) so a human can watch or collaborate on the same document a connected LLM is editing.
Status: early scaffolding, under active development.

Full setup instructions (CLSI via Docker, running the backend, and connecting from Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Antigravity, and others) are coming as the project is built out.

This server cannot be deployed
A hosted LaTeX editor your assistant can actually use. Search 1,019 free templates, create and edit projects, and compile them to PDF on a real TeX Live farm, getting back the PDF or the compile log when a build fails. Thirteen tools behind OAuth 2.1, with nothing to install and nothing to run locally.
