Configure a client

Claude Desktop

Edit claude_desktop_config.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "overleaf": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["overleaf-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "PROJECT_ID": "<YOUR_PROJECT_ID>",
        "OVERLEAF_TOKEN": "<YOUR_OVERLEAF_TOKEN>"
      },
      "timeout": 120000
    }
  }
}
