What it does

Lean document tools for AI clients

A focused free online Typst MCP server for rendering, conversion, validation, and Typst reference lookup.

PDF

Instant Rendering

Compiles complete Typst source code to PDF, SVG, or PNG instantly. Handles complex math, styling, and formatting natively.

TPL

Template System

Pre-loaded with templates for simple reports, formal letters, and lab protocols. Just pass the variables, the server handles the layout.

URL

Context Optimized

Returns token-protected download URLs to prevent context window overflow. Tokens survive service restarts until expiry. Files expire automatically: 6 hours by default, optionally up to 48 hours per render call.

DOC

Built-in Typst Docs

Lets connected LLMs list and retrieve official Typst documentation chapters before generating or fixing source code.

TEX

LaTeX Conversion

Converts LaTeX snippets to Typst through Pandoc, making it easier for models and users to migrate formulas and examples.

MD

Document Conversion

Converts Markdown, GitHub-Flavored Markdown, HTML, and complete LaTeX documents to Typst, or renders them directly to PDF, SVG, or PNG.

OK

Syntax Validation

Validates Typst snippets with the real Typst CLI and returns structured compiler diagnostics for fast correction loops.

Tool registry

Available MCP Tools

These tools are automatically exposed to your LLM when connecting. Render tools support optional lifespan_hours: default 6, maximum 48. File upload bridging, including ChatGPT local file handoff, is experimental and depends on the MCP client; inline source and HTTPS URLs remain the most stable inputs.

open_typst_renderer

ChatGPT UI

Opens an optional ChatGPT Apps UI for rendering, conversion, validation, docs lookup, and file helper workflows. The standard MCP tools remain usable in every client.
