# overleaf-mcp-plus

> The most comprehensive MCP server for Overleaf — full CRUD, compile, PDF download, git history, diff, and more. (The `overleaf-mcp` name on PyPI is taken by a smaller read-only project, hence the `-plus` suffix; the CLI command is still `overleaf-mcp`.)

### Description (declared)

# 🍃 Overleaf MCP Server

The most comprehensive [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server for [Overleaf](https://www.overleaf.com).

**25 tools** covering full CRUD, LaTeX structure analysis, citation verification, git history & diff, PDF compilation, SyncTeX layout inspection, and source export — all from your AI assistant.

**Simple setup** — supply `OVERLEAF_SESSION` for web/compile tools and/or
`OVERLEAF_GIT_TOKEN` for Git-backed read/write tools when registering the MCP
server. The two credentials are independent.

```
You: "List my projects"
AI:  [list_projects] You have 5 projects. Which one?

You: "Read main.tex from my thesis"
AI:  [read_file] Here's the content: …

You: "Rewrite the abstract to be more concise"
AI:  [edit_file] ✓ Edited and pushed

You: "Compile and download the PDF"
AI:  [compile_project + download_pdf] PDF saved to ~/Desktop/thesis.pdf ✓
```

> Note: earlier versions shipped an `overleaf_setup` / `overleaf_save_credentials` wizard. These tools have been removed — credentials are now read straight from environment variables.
