System brief

What it does.

LetX provides shared LaTeX projects, real-time editing, templates, cloud compilation, version history, Lexi, and an MCP server. It is the primary product of Shahriar Labs.

Lexi

An in-editor LaTeX agent that reads the project and compile log, edits source, recompiles, and keeps the previous version recoverable.

Hosted MCP server

On Pro, Academic Pro or a Team seat, connect Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, or another OAuth-capable MCP client to search templates, create projects, edit files, and compile PDFs. A free account can try it from Claude for 7 days from its first connection.

Claude plugin

LetX is in Anthropic's plugin directory for Claude Code, Cowork and the Claude apps: the same MCP server plus two skills, compile-and-fix and start-from-template.

Real-time collaboration

Conflict-free editing through Yjs CRDT sync, cursor presence, shared projects, and version history.

Full TeX Live

Cloud compilation with pdfLaTeX, XeLaTeX, and LuaLaTeX, plus more than 5,000 CTAN packages.

Free, Pro, Academic Pro, and Team pricing

Free includes 40 daily compiles, all templates, and unlimited collaborators. Pro is $18 monthly or $180 yearly. Academic Pro is $9 monthly or $90 yearly for students, faculty, and staff, and requires a current transcript or student or staff ID. Team is $20 per seat monthly or $200 yearly, for 2 to 50 people.

Payments and privacy

Subscriptions are handled by Lemon Squeezy as merchant of record. LetX does not receive full card numbers, and private documents are never used to train AI models.

Lexi

Project editing with compiler feedback.

Lexi reads the open LetX project, including files, bibliography, and the actual compile log. It can edit the source, compile the result, inspect the error, and try again.

Its command surface includes fixing compile errors, building tables and TikZ diagrams, converting screenshots and PDFs into LaTeX, creating Beamer slides, adding citations, formatting, translating, and targeted inline edits. Lexi comes with every paid plan as a monthly allowance; the editor, templates, collaboration, and free compilation remain available without it.

MCP

Connect an AI client to LetX.

The hosted endpoint at https://api.letx.app/mcp connects through OAuth 2.1. It lets compatible clients search the template library, create projects, list and read project files, update source, and compile LaTeX to PDF.

LetX documents thirteen tools: five read-only (template search and detail, project and file listing, file reading), six that write (create a project from a template or from source, update a file, compile loose LaTeX, compile a project, set the compiler), and conventional search and fetch compatibility for ChatGPT deep research. It is tested with Claude, ChatGPT, and Claude Code. The client never receives the user’s password, write scopes are disclosed on consent, access can be revoked, and prior file versions remain in LetX history.
