Before you start

• Pandoc installed and on PATH (e.g. `brew install pandoc`, or `apt-get install pandoc`)
• uv / uvx package manager to run the server (e.g. `brew install uv`, or `pip install uv`)
• For PDF output: a TeX engine such as TeX Live with xelatex (`brew install texlive`, or `apt-get install texlive-xetex`)
• No credentials or API key needed — auth is none
