A LaTeX document compiler with an [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) interface. AI agents operate on a structured document model — sections
A LaTeX document compiler with an MCP interface. AI agents operate on a structured document model — sections, paragraphs, figures, tables — while TeXFlow handles all LaTeX mechanics: packages, preamble. The texflow mcp mcp server wraps that behind the Model Context Protocol, so an assistant can use it through 6 defined tools rather than through you.
Everything the assistant can do here goes through one of these:
document — Create, ingest markdown, show outline, read sectionslayout — Columns, fonts, paper, margins, headers/footers, TOCedit — Insert, replace, delete, move blocks (section, paragraph, figure, table, code, equation, list, raw)render — Compile to PDF, preview page as PNG, export .texreference — Search LaTeX commands, symbols, packages, error helpqueue — Batch multiple operations in one calltexflow-mcp on PyPI is all you need. Most clients run it directly, so configuration is a few lines and a restart.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Texflow MCP's toolset — document, layout, edit and 3 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by aaronsb; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
