MATLAB MCP Server

GitHub Logo

We welcome contributions from everyone.

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

Installing via Smithery

To install MATLAB MCP Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install @WilliamCloudQi/matlab-mcp-server --client claude

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.

security – no known vulnerabilities

license - permissive license

quality - confirmed to work

How are these scores calculated?

local-only server

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

Tools

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