read_file

MCP tool from OverleafMCP by mjyoo2

Read a specific file from the project.

How to use it

Project documentation lists read_file for the OverleafMCP 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.
