name	mcp-latex
description	Cursor MCP LaTeX Server (local Python, tools/mcp-latex-server): create/edit/read/validate .tex, list files, document structure. Optional final PDF path needs a TeX distribution (MiKTeX, TeX Live, MacTeX). Triggers: latex mcp, tex file, final pdf, compile latex, robertodure-mcp-latex-server, LobeHub latex.
metadata	{"pattern":"tool-wrapper","specialization":"mcp-integration","domain":"publishing","mcp_key":"robertodure-mcp-latex-server"}
token_guardrails	- **Scope:** use for **LaTeX artifacts** and **final-document** workflows — not a substitute for `projects/<name>/outputs/*.md` as the primary design record (pair with **project-output-article** / **sysml-view-doc-sync** when exporting from markdown). - **Paths:** tool paths are resolved by the server relative to its **base path** (see upstream); stay within allowed directories — do not exfiltrate or write outside the user’s agreed LaTeX workspace. - **Compile:** full **pdflatex** / engine runs are **not** guaranteed by the MCP alone; confirm TeX is installed when the user needs PDF output.

MCP: LaTeX Server

1. Config: .cursor/mcp.json key robertodure-mcp-latex-server — venv Python + latex_server.py; see docs/mcp/LATEX_MCP.md for Windows vs macOS/Linux command paths and LobeHub mcp view (manual install, not generic npx alone).
2. Upstream / smoke test: tools/mcp-latex-server/ — optional local check: python tools/mcp-latex-server/test_latex_mcp_stdio.py from repo root.
3. Load references/mcp-policy.md for tools list and pairing with markdown outputs.
