Summary
Your paper, readable from the assistant.
Point it at an Overleaf project and the assistant works from your actual sections, equations and bibliography instead of asking you to paste them in.
What it is
A Python server that exposes one Overleaf project to an MCP client in read-only mode. It lists the project's files and returns the contents of any one of them.
What you get
- list_of_files returns every file in the project
- read_file returns the contents of a file you name
- Read-only by design — nothing here writes back into the project
- One project per entry: the project ID is part of the client configuration
Requirements
Python 3.10 or later and an Overleaf account or session cookie. The client config carries PROJECT_ID and OVERLEAF_TOKEN, which point the server at a single project.
Setup effort
One command plus a key — uvx overleaf-mcp, then supply credentials
