What is Latex Mathml Mcp Server

latex-mathml-mcp-server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to convert LaTeX mathematical expressions into MathML format, facilitating the integration of mathematical content in web applications.

Use cases

Use cases include converting LaTeX expressions in educational software, integrating MathML in web applications for displaying mathematical content, and providing API services for developers needing LaTeX to MathML conversion.

How to use

To use latex-mathml-mcp-server, clone the repository, install the necessary dependencies, and start the server using Node.js. You can then access its services for converting LaTeX to MathML either through a tool-based approach or resource-based access.

Key features

Key features include the ability to convert LaTeX to MathML, support for both tool-based and resource-based access, standard MCP protocol implementation for easy integration, and fast conversion using MathJax-node.

Where to use

latex-mathml-mcp-server can be used in educational platforms, online mathematical tools, scientific publishing, and any application requiring the rendering of mathematical expressions in a web environment.

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>"
