matlab-mcp
The MATLAB MCP Server allows users to integrate and execute MATLAB scripts and functions through the Model Context Protocol, providing tools to create and manage MATLAB files remotely. It supports additional features like script execution with argument passing and function calls, making it a versatile tool for MATLAB automation.
What Python version is required for the MATLAB MCP Server?
The server requires Python 3.11, as MATLAB Engine does not support Python 3.12 or 3.13.
How do I install the MATLAB Engine manually?
Navigate to the MATLAB Engine directory and run the setup script: cd $MATLAB_PATH/extern/engines/python followed by python setup.py install.
What should I do if script execution fails?
Ensure the 'matlab_scripts' directory exists, verify the script syntax is correct, and check for error messages in the MATLAB output.
How can I update the MCP server and its dependencies?
Use the command uv pip install --upgrade mcp[cli] to update Python packages, and ensure your MATLAB installation is up to date.
What environment variable is crucial for the server's operation?
The MATLAB_PATH environment variable, which should point to your MATLAB installation, is crucial for the server's operation.
