main.tex for a general audience, as a tracked change."./figures differ from what's in the project? Upload only those."~/papers/thesis, and show me what would be deleted first."You need Node.js 20 or newer, a Chrome-family browser (Chrome, Chromium, Brave, or Edge), and an Overleaf account.
[!NOTE] The server uses Overleaf's private web APIs, which can change without notice, and automating
www.overleaf.commay carry Terms-of-Service and account risk. Try it on a disposable project first and keep request volume low.
1. Sign in once. A dedicated browser window opens. Complete the normal Overleaf login, including SSO or two-factor. Only cookies for the Overleaf origin are saved, to a file only your user can read. The session lasts five days from its last use, so sign in again after five idle days, or schedule npx overleaf-web-mcp keepalive daily to keep it alive (see configuration).
npx overleaf-web-mcp login
2. Connect your MCP client. For Claude Code:
claude mcp add overleaf --scope user -- npx -y overleaf-web-mcp serve
For Codex:
codex mcp add overleaf -- npx -y overleaf-web-mcp serve
Add this to the client's MCP configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"overleaf": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "overleaf-web-mcp", "serve"]
}
}
}
VS Code uses a servers key and "type": "stdio" instead; the installation guide has the exact block for each client.
3. Restart the client and ask it to check your Overleaf connection.
Client-by-client steps, self-hosted Overleaf, and troubleshooting, including the "failed to connect" you get when node is older than 20, are in the installation guide.
Every tool is also a command, for scripts, CI jobs, and agents that work in a shell. After npx overleaf-web-mcp login:
npx overleaf-web-mcp projects list --query thesis
npx overleaf-web-mcp files read <projectId> main.tex
npx overleaf-web-mcp call get_sections --request request.json
Each command prints one JSON value on stdout, or one JSON error line on stderr, and its exit code says what is safe to do next: 0 complete, 1 failed, 2 fix the call, 3 not allowed, 4 read or plan again, 5 outcome unknown (never re-run it blindly), 6 partial, 7 retry later. Document text goes through a file or stdin, never the command line. The command line guide has every command and exit code. Three Agent Skills in skills/ use it to revise a manuscript, handle reviewer comments, and sync figures and sources.
From TypeScript, overleaf-web-mcp/core has one typed method per tool (TypeScript SDK):
import { createOverleafClient } from 'overleaf-web-mcp/core'
const client = await createOverleafClient()
try {
const file = await client.readFile({ projectId, filePath: 'main.tex' })
} finally {
await client.close()
}
\section headings in a file, read one section, replace one section.31 tools in eight groups: account, project lifecycle, files, folder sync, sections, compilation, review, and history. Read-only tools change nothing on Overleaf and write nothing on your computer. Destructive tools can replace or remove existing content, and all but stop_compile need a value repeated back first: the path, name, or count of what they delete, the revision of the document they replace, the planToken of a folder sync, or overwrite for a file that exists.
An upload that would replace a file, and a folder sync without a planToken, are refused unless that replacement or unplanned sync is asked for by name. The last column shows which tools read or write files on the computer the server runs on. Every parameter and result is in the tool reference; each tool is also overleaf-web-mcp call <name> and a method of createOverleafClient.

An agent working in a shell can use the command line instead, with overleaf-web-mcp --help and the three Agent Skills in skills/, which call only public commands.
