LaTeX PDF MCP server

This is a small helper that lets your AI turn LaTeX into a real PDF file. LaTeX is a way of writing documents using plain text and simple formatting commands, often used for reports, resumes and research papers. It is handy if you already write in LaTeX, or if you want a tidy PDF without fighting with a word processor.

What this MCP server does

You tell your AI what document you want, and it writes the LaTeX for you. The AI passes that text to this helper, which saves it as a .tex file. If a LaTeX program called pdflatex is installed, the helper also builds a matching .pdf. You then get the file back in your folder, ready to open or send. If pdflatex is not installed, you still get the .tex file, just without the PDF.

What you can do with it

• Turn a block of LaTeX you already have into a PDF
• Pick one of the built-in templates, like a resume or invoice, and fill it in
• List the templates that are available so you can choose one
• Look at the raw contents of a template before you use it
• List the files that have been produced so far
• Write a short report, letter or cover letter as a PDF

Try asking your AI

• “Make me a one-page resume PDF using the resume template. My name is Alex, I work in marketing, and here are my three past jobs.”
• “Here is some LaTeX for a short report. Please turn it into a PDF.”
• “Show me the list of templates you have.”
• “What files have you produced so far?”

What it gives back to you

You get a short reply in the chat telling you what was created and where it was saved. The actual files land in the artifacts folder: a .tex file, and a .pdf if the LaTeX program is available. When you ask for a list, you get a simple list of file names back. The chat itself shows text, not the PDF, so you open the file from the folder.
