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.

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

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.
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.
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.
You need Python with `uv`, a clone of the Typst repository (for documentation generation), and optionally Docker. Pandoc must be installed for LaTeX conversion.
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.
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.
The server uses MCP stdio transport (no authentication required) and exposes all features as tools for AI models to call.
