MATLAB MCP Server
GitHub Logo
A powerful MCP server that integrates MATLAB with AI, allowing you to execute MATLAB code, generate MATLAB scripts from natural language descriptions, and access MATLAB documentation directly through your AI assistant.
Features
Resources
Access MATLAB documentation via matlab://documentation/getting-started URI
Get started guide with examples and usage instructions
Tools
execute_matlab_code - Execute MATLAB code and get results
generate_matlab_code - Generate MATLAB code from natural language
Development
Install dependencies:
Build the server:
For development with auto-rebuild:
Requirements
MATLAB installed on your system
Node.js (v14 or higher)
Installation
1. Install the package
Or clone the repository and build it yourself:
2. Configure cline to use the server
To use with cline , add the server config:
On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Replace /path/to/matlab/executable with the path to your MATLAB executable:
Windows: Usually C:\\Program Files\\MATLAB\\R2023b\\bin\\matlab.exe
macOS: Usually /Applications/MATLAB_R2023b.app/bin/matlab
Linux: Usually /usr/local/MATLAB/R2023b/bin/matlab
Debugging
Since MCP servers communicate over stdio, debugging can be challenging. We recommend using the MCP Inspector, which is available as a package script:
The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.
