Overleaf MCP Server

MCP server that lets compatible clients (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code) interact with Overleaf projects via tools and resources.

Features

  • List projects and files.
  • Read files.
  • Safe, read-only mode.

Adjust to match your implementation.

Configure a client

Claude Desktop

Edit claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "overleaf": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["overleaf-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "PROJECT_ID": "<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>",
        "OVERLEAF_TOKEN": "<YOUR_OVERLEAF_TOKEN>"
      },
      "timeout": 120000
    }
  }
}

If you have a console script, set "command": "overleaf-mcp" and remove "args".
