MATLAB MCP Core Server
The MATLAB MCP Core Server enables AI applications to control MATLAB by providing tools to start and quit MATLAB instances, write and execute MATLAB code, and perform code style and correctness assessments. It integrates with Claude, GitHub Copilot, and other AI platforms through the Model Context Protocol, allowing developers to leverage MATLAB's computational capabilities within AI-driven workflows. The server requires MATLAB 2020b or later installed on the system and is available as a pre-built binary or can be built from source.

MATLAB MCP Server
English • Español • 日本語 • 한국어 • 简体中文
Run MATLAB® using AI applications with the official MATLAB MCP Server from MathWorks®. The MATLAB MCP Server allows your AI applications to:
- Start and quit MATLAB.
- Write and run MATLAB code.
- Assess your MATLAB code for style and correctness.
If you use Claude Code®, GitHub® Copilot CLI, or OpenAI® Codex, MathWorks recommends you install this MCP server using the Agentic Toolkit Installer (GitHub), which is the easiest way to configure these AI coding agents to use MATLAB and Simulink.
Otherwise, you can install this MCP server manually using the instructions for Manual Setup.
