Configuration in Claude Code

Create a .mcp.json file in your project root. This configuration is ideal for team collaboration as it uses ${PWD} environment variable that works across different machines:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "latex-mcp": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": [
        "run",
        "-i",
        "--rm",
        "--mount",
        "type=bind,src=${PWD},dst=${PWD}",
        "-w",
        "${PWD}",
        "ghcr.io/sepinetam/latex-mcp:latest"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
