matlab-mcp 0.1.0

MATLAB MCP Server - A Model Context Protocol server for MATLAB integration (requires Python 3.11+)

MATLAB MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides AI assistants with the ability to execute MATLAB code, create scripts and functions, and interact with MATLAB's computational environment.

Features

• 🔧 Create and execute MATLAB scripts and functions
• 📊 Capture MATLAB figures and visualizations
• 📝 Open MATLAB editor for script editing
• 🔍 Access workspace variables and outputs
• 🚀 Seamless integration with AI assistants via MCP

Installation

Using uvx (Recommended)

uvx matlab-mcp

Using pip

pip install matlab-mcp

Prerequisites

• MATLAB installation (R2024a or later recommended)
• Python 3.11 or later
• MATLAB Engine for Python (automatically installed if missing)

Configuration

Claude Desktop

Add the following to your Claude Desktop config file:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "matlab": {
            "command": "uvx",
            "args": ["matlab-mcp"],
            "env": {
                "MATLAB_PATH": "/path/to/your/matlab/installation"
            }
        }
    }
}

Environment Variables

Set the MATLAB_PATH environment variable to your MATLAB installation directory:

• Windows: C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2024a
• macOS: /Applications/MATLAB_R2024a.app
• Linux: /usr/local/MATLAB/R2024a

Available Tools

• create_matlab_script(script_name, code) - Create a new MATLAB script
• create_matlab_function(function_name, code) - Create a new MATLAB function
• execute_matlab_script(script_name, args) - Execute a MATLAB script
• call_matlab_function(function_name, args) - Call a MATLAB function
• open_matlab_editor(script_name) - Open MATLAB editor for a script

Example Usage

Ask your AI assistant to:

• "Create a MATLAB script that plots a sine wave"
• "Execute the MATLAB script with custom parameters"
• "Create a function to calculate the mean of an array"
• "Open the MATLAB editor to review the script"
