What This Server Does - Connects MCP-compatible clients to your Overleaf project through Git sync. - Exposes file-level tools to list, read, write, and sync project content. - Keeps workflow simple: pull latest files, edit, then push back to Overleaf. Architecture Tool Workflow Requirements - Python 3.13+ - uv package manager - An Overleaf plan with Git integration (individual, group, or institution license). Check if your institution provides free access at Overleaf for Institutions - use your institutional email. If your institution is not listed, upgrade your plan. Git Setup 1. Enable Git - open your project on Overleaf → Menu → enable Git under Integrations. 2. Copy project ID - from the browser URL (e.g. https://www.overleaf.com/project/69a4f7cc4eaf13bd56de5b04 → 69a4f7cc4eaf13bd56de5b04 ). 3. Generate a Git token - Account Settings → Git integration authentication tokens → Generate new token . 4.
