README

mcp-latex

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for LaTeX. Give an AI assistant (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor…) the ability to check your LaTeX document, parse compiler logs, and compile — so it can actually fix your thesis or paper instead of guessing. Static analysis works with no TeX install required.

Tools

Tool Description
check_document Static analysis: undefined refs, duplicate/unused labels, unbalanced environments; lists labels/refs/citations. No TeX needed.
parse_log Turns a .log into structured errors, warnings, undefined refs/citations, over/underfull boxes.
compile Compiles a .tex with latexmk/pdflatex if installed; returns parsed errors (graceful if no engine).

Use with Claude Desktop / Claude Code

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "latex": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mcp-latex"] }
  }
}

Then ask: "Check my thesis for undefined references and unbalanced environments," or "Compile main.tex and fix the first error."

Why

Writing a thesis in LaTeX means fighting cryptic compiler errors, dangling \refs and \begin/\end mismatches. An AI assistant is great at fixing these — if it can see the actual errors. This server gives it structured eyes on your document. Built from the pain of writing a real master's thesis.
