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.
