math-svg-mcp
An MCP server that converts LaTeX math expressions to SVG.
Once configured, Claude (or your favorite AI assistant) is able to convert LaTeX math expressions to SVG. So you could, for instance, ask:
Give me the Laplace transform formula as SVG
The assistant will generate the LaTeX:
\mathcal{L}\{f(t)\} = \int_0^\infty f(t) e^{-st} \, dt = F(s)
and use the tool to render it:
Quick Install (Claude Desktop)
Download and open the .mcpb file from the latest release to automatically configure Claude Desktop.
Or use this direct link: math-svg-mcp.mcpb
Manual Configuration
Claude Desktop
Add to your Claude Desktop configuration file:
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"math-svg": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "math-svg-mcp"]
}
}
}
Claude Code
Add to your Claude Code settings (.claude/settings.json or global settings):
{
"mcpServers": {
"math-svg": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "math-svg-mcp"]
}
}
}
Or run directly:
claude mcp add math-svg -- npx -y math-svg-mcp
Other MCP Clients
Any MCP-compatible client can use this server with the same configuration pattern:
{
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "math-svg-mcp"]
}
Global Installation (Optional)
For faster startup, install globally:
npm install -g math-svg-mcp
Then configure your client to use:
{
"command": "math-svg-mcp"
}
Tools
latex_to_svg
Converts a LaTeX expression to SVG and returns the content directly.
| Parameter | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
latex | Yes | — | LaTeX math expression |
unit | Yes | — | Output unit: pt, px, mm, or ex |
display | No | true | Display mode (block) vs inline |
fontSize | No | 16 | Font size in the specified unit |
xHeightRatio | No | 0.5 | Ratio of x-height to font size |
font | No | modern | Math font (see Available Fonts) |
Example: E = mc^2
latex_to_svg_file
Converts a LaTeX expression to SVG and saves to a file.
| Parameter | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
latex | Yes | — | LaTeX math expression |
outputPath | Yes | — | File path for the SVG |
unit | Yes | — | Output unit: pt, px, mm, or ex |
display | No | true | Display mode (block) vs inline |
fontSize | No | 16 | Font size in the specified unit |
xHeightRatio | No | 0.5 | Ratio of x-height to font size |
font | No | modern | Math font (see Available Fonts) |
Example: \int_0^\infty e^{-x^2} dx = \frac{\sqrt{\pi}}{2} → /tmp/gaussian.svg
Available Fonts
The font parameter lets you choose from 10 math fonts. The default modern font (Latin Modern) is bundled; others are automatically downloaded on first use and cached in ~/.cache/math-svg-mcp/fonts/.
