aloth / olcli
Overleaf CLI - pull, push, sync, compile LaTeX projects from your terminal. Git remote helper, MCP server for AI agents, and TypeScript library.
Why this job: says: mcp server; topics: mcp-server, model-context-protocol, mcp


What it does
- Pull, push, sync with nested folders, local deletions propagated on sync, and LaTeX build artifacts ignored (ignore rules)
- Diff local files against the live project before you push, with --exit-code for CI (docs/DIFF.md)
- Marked-up revisions. olcli diff --latexdiff --pdf builds the struck-through and underlined PDF advisors and journals ask for, compiled on Overleaf, no local TeX needed (needs latexdiff on PATH)
- Compile and download the PDF, a single root document (-r appendix.tex), or compile outputs such as .bbl for arXiv
- Files. upload, download, delete, rename and move by path; download the project as a zip
