get_sections

MCP tool from Overleaf Git MCP by Junfei-Z

Extract section and subsection headings without reading the entire document body.

How to use it

Project documentation lists get_sections for the Overleaf Git MCP MCP server. Add the server to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf and others), then check which tools your installed version makes available. Tool availability can depend on configuration and credentials. A server handshake does not verify this tool’s behavior. See the full listing for setup details.
