MATLAB MCP Server

The MATLAB MCP Server is MathWorks’ official Model Context Protocol server, published on GitHub, that lets AI applications run MATLAB directly. Connect an MCP-compatible coding agent — such as Claude Code or Visual Studio Code’s agent mode — and the assistant can execute MATLAB code, run scripts and tests, and work with your MATLAB session as one of its tools, instead of merely suggesting code you have to paste in yourself. The project has around 1,700 stars and is actively maintained, with code last updated in 2026.

Overview

Engineering teams live in MATLAB, but general AI assistants historically stopped at generating snippets. This server closes the loop: it exposes MATLAB execution as MCP tools, so an agent can write code, run it against a real MATLAB installation, read the results and iterate. It is maintained by MathWorks itself, which makes it the reference integration between MATLAB and the MCP ecosystem.

Key Features

• Official MathWorks implementation, maintained alongside MATLAB
• Run MATLAB code and scripts from AI coding agents via MCP
• Works with Claude Code, VS Code and other MCP-compatible clients
• Agents can execute, inspect results and iterate on numerical code
• Brings toolboxes and existing MATLAB codebases into agent workflows
• Free to use with your existing MATLAB installation

💳 Pricing

Free. The MATLAB MCP Server is provided by MathWorks at no charge; a licensed MATLAB installation is required to execute code.

Who Is It For

Engineers and researchers who develop in MATLAB and want AI coding agents to run and test real MATLAB code, and teams standardising on MCP for tool integrations.
