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 "Install 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.
