Overleaf for AI agents (olmcp) — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Overleaf for AI agents (olmcp)?

Overleaf for AI agents (olmcp) runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package olmcp.

How do I connect Overleaf for AI agents (olmcp)?

Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls olmcp straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.

Is Overleaf for AI agents (olmcp) open source?

Yes — it is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, written in JavaScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
