### Description (declared)

# 🌿 Typleaf MCP Server

A [Model Context Protocol (MCP)](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server for **[Typst](https://typst.app)** projects on **[Typleaf Pro](https://github.com/superzeldalink/typleaf-pro)** — a self-hostable Overleaf fork with Typst support.

**28 tools** covering full CRUD, document structure analysis, git history & diff, compilation, PDF download, PDF-layout perception, and citation verification.

Typleaf compiles both Typst and LaTeX, so this server handles **both**. The right parser is chosen from the file extension — you never have to say which.
