MATLAB MCP Server
MathWorks' official MCP server that lets coding agents start MATLAB, run code and check it.
Sources and review
Checked against public documentation on . Suitability guidance is our editorial judgment; this is not a performance benchmark or an endorsement.
Engineers who want an AI coding agent to execute and validate MATLAB code against their own installation.
You don't have MATLAB R2021a or later installed; the server runs your local MATLAB.
About MATLAB MCP Server
The MATLAB MCP Server from MathWorks lets AI applications such as Claude Code, Claude Desktop, GitHub Copilot in VS Code and Codex start and quit MATLAB, write and run MATLAB code, and assess code for style and correctness. MathWorks' MATLAB and Simulink Agentic Toolkits add skills and can install the server. Its licence permits use only with MathWorks products.
MATLAB MCP Server is listed in this index written primarily in Go, with 1.8k stars on GitHub. Its latest recorded repository push was in October 2026; that is not an ASE editorial review date.
Before connecting: access and data
This record's specific permissions have not been reviewed by ASE. Read the publisher's documentation before copying setup or connecting.
- List the accounts, files and services the enabled tools can read, change or execute. Check your actual credentials and discovered tools.
- Use narrowly scoped credentials and read-only mode where supported. Review proposed writes before approving them; a generated configuration does not apply these limits for you.
- Local launch is not local-only data processing. External services receive requests, and your client may pass tool results to its model provider. Check both destinations before sharing private data.
- Keep keys and browser session files out of shared config, repositories and screenshots. Know how to disconnect the server and separately revoke its credentials or account sessions.
