### Description (declared)

# MATLAB MCP Server

[![Ask DeepWiki](https://deepwiki.com/badge.svg)](https://deepwiki.com/subspace-lab/matlab-mcp-server)

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables seamless integration between MATLAB and MCP-compatible applications like Claude Code. Execute MATLAB code, manage workspace variables, create plots, handle data I/O, and more - all through a token-efficient MCP interface.

## Features

- **Execute MATLAB Code**: Run MATLAB commands and scripts with persistent session
- **Workspace Management**: Get, set, list, and clear workspace variables
- **Figure Operations**: Save, export, and close MATLAB figures (PNG, SVG, PDF, etc.)
- **Data I/O**: Import/export data (CSV, JSON, XLSX) and load/save MAT files
- **Environment Info**: Check MATLAB version and installed toolboxes
- **Documentation Access**: Get MATLAB help, search functions, and find toolbox locations
- **Token-Efficient Design**: Multi-operation tools minimize API calls
- **JSON Resources**: Structured access to workspace, toolboxes, and session info

## Quick Start

**Prerequisites:**
- MATLAB installed on your system
- `uv` package manager installed ([install uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/))

### Option 1: Zero-Installation Setup (Recommended)

Just configure and run - no manual installation needed!

**1. Find your MATLAB library path:**

```bash
# macOS (Apple Silicon)
/Applications/MATLAB_R2025b.app/bin/maca64

# Linux
/usr/local/MATLAB/R2024b/bin/glnxa64
```

**2. Configure Claude Code:**

**Option A: Using CLI (Recommended)**

```bash
# macOS (Apple Silicon)
claude mcp add --transport stdio matlab \
  --env DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Applications/MATLAB_R2025b.app/bin/maca64 \
  -- uvx matlab-mcp-server

# Linux
claude mcp add --transport stdio matlab \
  --env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/MATLAB/R2024b/bin/glnxa64 \
  -- uvx matlab-mcp-server
```

This uses **local scope** by default (private to you, only this project). For other scopes:
- `--scope project`: Sha…
