If you have Claude Code installed, MatLivre can work with it. No API key is needed, since it uses the Claude Code already on your computer. This is optional: everything else works without it.

  • Claude panel (Ctrl+L): chat with Claude, which can run code in your workspace, see your figures, and read and edit the open documents. It asks before it runs or changes anything.
  • Code completions: after a pause in typing, Claude suggests the rest of the line or block in grey. Tab inserts it, Esc dismisses it, Alt+\ asks at once. Turn them on or off in the … menu.
  • MCP server: … › Connect Claude Code copies a claude mcp add command. After you run it, Claude Code in a terminal works in the open MatLivre window.
