Overview
A Go stdio MCP server that starts or attaches to a local MATLAB (R2021a or later). It exposes tools to evaluate code, run scripts and unit tests, lint files, and list installed toolboxes. It also serves MATLAB coding guideline resources and supports custom tools via JSON extension files.
Who it is for: MATLAB and Simulink users connecting coding agents to a local MATLAB
Strengths
- Five tools: evaluate code, run .m/.p files, run unit tests, static check, detect toolboxes
- Can attach to an already running MATLAB session (R2023a+) via shareMATLABSession()
- Prebuilt binaries for Windows, Linux and macOS, plus an .mcpb bundle for Claude Desktop
- Custom tools can be added through JSON extension files
Weaknesses
- Requires a locally installed, licensed MATLAB; no standalone use
- Usage terms restrict it to one user per server; shared use needs MathWorks contact
- Anonymized telemetry is on by default and must be disabled with a flag
- License is a custom MathWorks file, not a standard open-source license
What it needs
- no GPU
- Needs MATLAB R2021a or later
Quick answers
Is matlab-mcp-server open source?
