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

Connect Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, or another OAuth-capable MCP client to search templates, create projects, edit files, and compile PDFs.

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, and student pricing

Free includes 40 daily compiles, all templates, and unlimited collaborators. Regular Pro is $18 monthly or $180 yearly. Student Pro is $9 monthly or $90 yearly.

Payments and privacy

Subscriptions are handled by Lemon Squeezy as merchant of record. LetX does not receive full card numbers and private documents are not used to train AI without explicit opt-in consent.

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 is a Pro feature with 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 ten core tools plus 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.
