Overview

AI-generated overview

An MCP server that lets an AI assistant compile TeX files with LaTeX inside a Docker container.

What you can do
Compile TeX source files to output documents using a LaTeX toolchain running in Docker, invoked from the assistant's session. The project directory is bind-mounted into the container so the assistant works on files in place. Configuration is a single MCP server entry that launches the container image.
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to build or check LaTeX documents in a project without installing a TeX distribution on the host, and you already have Docker available.
Requirements
Docker installed and running, network access to GitHub Container Registry to pull the image, and roughly 4GB of memory recommended. The sample configuration bind-mounts the current project directory into the container.
Before you install
The container mounts your project directory read-write, so compilation can create or overwrite files there. The image is pulled from a third-party registry; review what it contains before trusting it with your sources.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Latex Mcp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

Quickly Start

Prerequisites

Configuration in Claude Code

Create a .mcp.json file in your project root. This configuration is ideal for team collaboration as it uses ${PWD} environment variable that works across different machines:

json
{  "mcpServers": {    "latex-mcp": {      "command": "docker",      "args": [        "run",        "-i",        "--rm",        "--mount",        "type=bind,src=${PWD},dst=${PWD}",        "-w",        "${PWD}",        "ghcr.io/sepinetam/latex-mcp:latest"      ]    }  }}

Score

50% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

  • Reached in the last 30 days25 pts

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.

  • Tools listed15 pts

    Answer tools/list without a credential, or ship a package that starts in a sandbox without one.
