## Description

LaTeX MCP server by Lachlan Bridges that provides AI assistants with complete LaTeX document compilation and generation capabilities through a Docker-containerized TeXLive environment. The implementation offers tools for compiling LaTeX source to PDF using multiple engines (pdflatex, xelatex, lualatex), managing reusable document templates (article, beamer presentations, math-heavy documents, worksheets), and rendering LaTeX snippets like equations, figures, and multiple choice questions with parameter substitution. Built with security controls that block dangerous LaTeX commands, automatic file cleanup, compilation caching, and a complete deployment stack including Docker containers, systemd services, and nginx configuration, it serves educators creating worksheets and exams, researchers generating academic papers, and developers building document generation workflows that require professional LaTeX typesetting without managing complex LaTeX installations.
