概要

What is Typst MCP Server?

Typst MCP Server is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) implementation that helps AI models interact with Typst, a markup-based typesetting system. It provides tools for converting between LaTeX and Typst, validating Typst syntax, and generating PNG images from Typst code.

How to use Typst MCP Server?

Clone both this repository and the Typst repository, generate the documentation JSON file, install dependencies with uv sync, then run python server.py or use Docker. Configure the server in your AI platform’s MCP settings (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code Agent Mode) by specifying the command and arguments.

Key features of Typst MCP Server

Converts LaTeX snippets to Typst using Pandoc
Validates whether Typst code is syntactically correct
Renders Typst code to PNG images for preview
Lists all chapters in the Typst documentation
Retrieves specific chapters from the Typst documentation
Supports batch conversion and validation of multiple snippets

Use cases of Typst MCP Server

AI assistants generating and checking Typst documents
Converting existing LaTeX projects to Typst format
Validating Typst code before outputting it to users
Previewing complex Typst illustrations before sending
Querying Typst documentation to answer user questions

FAQ from Typst MCP Server

What does Typst MCP Server do that Pandoc alone does not?

Beyond LaTeX-to-Typst conversion, it provides Typst syntax validation, PNG rendering, and direct access to Typst documentation – all integrated into AI workflows via MCP tools.

What runtime or dependencies are required?

You need Python with uv, a clone of the Typst repository (for documentation generation), and optionally Docker. Pandoc must be installed for LaTeX conversion.

Where does the documentation data live?

The Typst documentation is generated locally from the Typst source code and stored as a JSON file (main.json) in the typst-docs folder of this repository.

What are the known limitations of Typst MCP Server?

The schema of the Typst documentation is not stable and may change at any time; the server must be updated accordingly. Currently all functionality is implemented as MCP tools because other primitives (resources, prompts) are not yet supported in client IDEs like Cursor and VS Code.

How does the server handle authentication or transport?

The server uses MCP stdio transport (no authentication required) and exposes all features as tools for AI models to call.
