Overleaf Skill
Manage Overleaf LaTeX projects via the olcli CLI, native git remote, or MCP server.
When to Use Which Mode
| Mode | Best for | How |
|---|---|---|
CLI (olcli) |
Interactive workflows, sync, compile, arXiv prep | olcli pull/push/sync/pdf |
| Git remote | Version control, commits, diffs, CI/CD pipelines | git clone overleaf::… then standard git |
| MCP server | AI agents with MCP support (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf) | Connect via olcli-mcp stdio transport |
Use CLI when you need bidirectional sync with conflict detection, compilation, or comment management. Use Git remote when you want proper git history, branches, and standard git push/pull. Use MCP when an AI agent has native MCP support and doesn't need to shell out.
Installation
# Homebrew (recommended)
brew tap aloth/tap && brew install olcli
