LaTeX to MathML MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that converts LaTeX mathematical expressions to MathML format. And this README.md is written by DeepSeek V3.

Features

  • Converts LaTeX mathematical expressions to MathML

  • Provides both tool-based conversion and resource-based access

  • Standard MCP protocol implementation for easy integration

  • Lightweight and fast conversion using MathJax-node

Installation

  1. Clone this repository:

    git clone https://github.com/HappyAny/latex-mathml-mcp-server.git cd latex-mathml-mcp-server
  2. Install dependencies:

    npm install mathjax-node npm install @modelcontextprotocol/sdk

Usage

Starting the Server

Run the server using Node.js:

node index.js

The server will start and listen for MCP client connections via stdio transport.

Available Services

  1. Tool-based Conversion:

    • Tool name: latex2mathml

    • Input: LaTeX string

    • Output: MathML string

  2. Resource-based Access:

    • Resource URI pattern: mathml://{latex_expression}

    • Returns: MathML representation of the LaTeX expression

Client Integration

To connect to this server from an MCP client, add the following configuration to your client's settings:

{ "mcpServers": { "latex-mathml-server": { "isActive": true, "command": "node", "args": [ "path_to_your_server/index.js" ] } } }

Replace path_to_your_server/index.js with the actual path to the server script.

API Details

Tool: latex2mathml

Request Format:

{ "latex": "your_LaTeX_expression" }

Example Request:

{ "latex": "E = mc^2" }

Response Format:

{ "content": [ { "type": "text", "text": "<math xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML\">...</math>" } ] }

Resource: mathml://{id}

Access mathematical expressions as resources using the URI pattern:

mathml://E%20%3D%20mc%5E2

(Note: LaTeX expressions should be URL-encoded in the resource URI)
