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. The server provides tools for converting between LaTeX and Typst, validating Typst syntax, and generating images from Typst code.
Available Tools
⚠️ Currently all the functionality is implemented as
tools, because Cursor and VS Code are not able to handle the other primitives yet.
The server provides the following tools:
list_docs_chapters(): Lists all chapters in the Typst documentation.- Lets the LLM get an overview of the documentation and select a chapter to read.
- The LLM should select the relevant chapter to read based on the task at hand.
get_docs_chapter(route): Retrieves a specific chapter from the Typst documentation.- Based on the chapter selected by the LLM, this tool retrieves the content of the chapter.
- Also available as
get_docs_chapters(routes: list)for retrieving multiple chapters at once.
latex_snippet_to_typst(latex_snippet): Converts LaTeX code to Typst using Pandoc.- LLMs are better at writing LaTeX than Typst, so this tool helps convert LaTeX code to Typst.
- Also available as
latex_snippets_to_typst(latex_snippets: list)for converting multiple LaTeX snippets at once.
check_if_snippet_is_valid_typst_syntax(typst_snippet): Validates Typst code.- Before sending Typst code to the user, the LLM should check if the code is valid.
- Also available as
check_if_snippets_are_valid_typst_syntax(typst_snippets: list)for validating multiple Typst snippets at once.
typst_to_image(typst_snippet): Renders Typst code to a PNG image.- Before sending complex Typst illustrations to the user, the LLM should render the code to an image and check if it looks correct.
- Only relevant for multi modal models.
