OverleafMCP

Active·★ 326·MIT·Updated 2026-05-03

Overleaf MCP Server is an MCP server that provides access to Overleaf projects via Git integration. It allows Claude and other MCP clients to read LaTeX files, analyze document structure, extract content, and write files to and from Overleaf projects. The server supports multiple projects and various configuration methods.

OverleafMCP sits in the Dev Tooling category, so it is usually better judged by workflow fit, deployment style, and team needs than by isolated features alone. Based on the available metadata, it leans most clearly toward File management: list, read, and write files from and to Overleaf projects. A representative use case is Read LaTeX files like main.tex from an Overleaf project. The listed license is MIT. GitHub stars are currently 326. Relevant tags include ai-tools, chatgpt.

This write-up is based on the project's README and public repository data. We have not hand-tested the tool.
