FastMCP LaTeX Server (tex-mcp)
A small FastMCP-based Microservice that renders LaTeX to PDF. The server exposes MCP tools
to render raw LaTeX or templates and produces artifacts (a .tex file and .pdf)
under src/artifacts/.
This repository is prepared to run locally and to be loaded by Claude Desktop (via the
Model Context Protocol). The default entrypoint is run_server.py.
