Typst MCP server

This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to Typst, a tool for making nicely formatted documents and pages. It is handy if you write in LaTeX or Typst and want your AI to help without you fixing every mistake by hand. You do not need to be a programmer to use it, but you do need to set it up once.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI to do something with Typst or LaTeX. The AI sends your request to this helper program. The helper talks to Typst and to Pandoc, a converter tool, to do the actual work. Then it sends the result back to your AI, and your AI shows it to you in the chat. For example, you can paste LaTeX and get Typst back, or check whether a Typst snippet has errors.

What you can do with it

• Convert LaTeX code into Typst code
• Check whether a Typst snippet has valid syntax
• Render a Typst snippet into a PNG image
• Look up chapters in the Typst documentation
• Convert several LaTeX snippets at once
• Validate several Typst snippets at once

Try asking your AI

• “Convert this LaTeX equation to Typst: \frac{a}{b} = c”
• “Is this Typst code valid? #set page(width: 10cm) Hello”
• “Turn this Typst snippet into a PNG image so I can see how it looks”
• “Show me the Typst documentation chapter about page setup”

What it gives back to you

You get back text, code, or an image, depending on what you asked. A conversion gives you the new code. A check gives you a yes or no with a short note about problems. An image request gives you a PNG you can look at in the chat.
