MATLAB MCP Server

MATLAB MCP Server

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
    • Run any MATLAB commands or scripts
    • Option to save scripts for future reference
    • View output directly in your conversation
  • generate_matlab_code - Generate MATLAB code from natural language
    • Describe what you want to accomplish in plain language
    • Get executable MATLAB code in response
    • Option to save generated scripts

Development

Install dependencies:

npm install

Build the server:

npm run build

For development with auto-rebuild:

npm run watch

Requirements

  • MATLAB installed on your system
  • Node.js (v14 or higher)

Installation

1. Install the package

npm install -g matlab-mcp-server

Or clone the repository and build it yourself:

git clone https://github.com/username/matlab-mcp-server.git cd matlab-mcp-server npm install npm run build

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

{ "mcpServers": { "matlab-server": { "command": "node", "args": ["/path/to/matlab-server/build/index.js"], "env": { "MATLAB_PATH": "/path/to/matlab/executable" }, "disabled": false, "autoApprove": [] } } }

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:

npm run inspector

The Inspector will provide a URL to access debugging tools in your browser.

You must be authenticated.

local-only server

The server can only run on the client's local machine because it depends on local resources.

Integrates MATLAB with AI to execute code, generate scripts from natural language, and access MATLAB documentation seamlessly.
