}MATLAB MCP Core Server is the official MathWorks MCP server for connecting AI applications to MATLAB. It runs as a local stdio server and can connect Claude Code, Claude Desktop, VS Code, or another MCP client to a licensed MATLAB installation.
Use it when Claude needs MATLAB-specific context instead of generic file access: installed toolbox discovery, MATLAB Code Analyzer findings, reviewed code evaluation, script execution, MATLAB test execution, or custom tools backed by MATLAB functions already on the MATLAB path.
These sources were reviewed on 2026-06-06. Prefer the live repository, README, license, server entry point, CLI parameter definitions, tool definition source, custom tool guide, and telemetry factory for current behavior.
matlab-mcp-core-server..m files with MATLAB Code Analyzer without modifying the file.--disable-telemetry=true.Download the upstream release binary, build from source, or install the Claude Desktop MCPB bundle from the repository release page. Then add the stdio server to your MCP client.
Example MCP client configuration:
{
"mcpServers": {
"matlab": {
"command": "{path-to-matlab-mcp-core-server}",
"args": ["--disable-telemetry=true"]
}
}
}
For project-specific work, pass an initial folder only after confirming that Claude should be allowed to work in that project:
{
"mcpServers": {
"matlab": {
"command": "{path-to-matlab-mcp-core-server}",
"args": [
"--disable-telemetry=true",
"--initial-working-folder={project-folder}"
]
}
}
}
When using Claude Desktop, review the upstream MCPB and any filesystem access you grant through other extensions. When using custom MATLAB tools, inspect the extension JSON and the MATLAB functions it exposes before starting the server.
.m file and discuss warnings.Treat this server as a code-execution bridge into MATLAB, not as a passive documentation helper. MATLAB code can read and write files, start computations, open graphical tools, create models and figures, call external services, and change project state. Review the exact tool arguments before approving evaluation, script execution, test execution, or custom tool calls.
The server can reveal sensitive context through command-window output, installed
toolbox lists, add-ons, project folders, code paths, logs, generated results,
and test output. Upstream documentation says anonymized usage telemetry is on by
default; add --disable-telemetry=true when you do not want that collection.
Check MathWorks licensing guidance before shared, centralized, classroom,
enterprise, or service-style deployments.

| Safety notes | ✓MATLAB MCP Core Server can start MATLAB, connect to an existing MATLAB instance, evaluate arbitrary MATLAB code, run scripts, and run MATLAB test files. The evaluate and run tools can change files, workspace state, figures, models, generated artifacts, or external systems depending on the MATLAB code being executed. Custom extension files can expose additional MATLAB functions as MCP tools, so review the JSON definition and the corresponding MATLAB functions before startup. The README advises reviewing all tool calls and keeping a human in the loop before running important actions. Shared or centralized server use is restricted by upstream licensing guidance; check MathWorks terms before team or service deployments. | ✓ChunkHound reads source files, Markdown, text, PDFs, and supported config files under the target directory and stores indexed chunks in a local database. Realtime indexing and daemon mode can continue watching project files after the initial MCP connection. Code research and web search tools require embedding, reranking, and LLM configuration and may invoke local CLIs or external model APIs depending on settings. Exclude generated files, vendored dependencies, secrets, large artifacts, and unrelated repositories before indexing broad workspace roots. Review MCP client configuration carefully when using an absolute project path in a global Claude Desktop config. | ✓CodeDB indexes local projects and exposes file tree, outline, search, symbol, caller, dependency, read, snapshot, project, and context tools to the MCP client. CodeDB's `codedb_edit` tool exists as a fallback editing tool and can create, replace, insert, delete, or modify files when used by a client without native edit tooling. The npm package runs a postinstall step that downloads a native binary from GitHub Releases; review package and release provenance in environments that restrict native binaries. Remote repo queries use the public `api.wiki.codes` service and should be treated as network access outside the local repository. The upstream README marks the project as alpha software, with parser coverage and snapshot formats still stabilizing. | ✓`create_experiment` and `create_feature` write to your GrowthBook workspace — capabilities are scoped by your API key/PAT permissions. Creating experiments or feature flags may immediately affect production if they are in a live environment — review before confirming. |
| Privacy notes | ✓Tool calls can expose MATLAB code, command-window output, project folder names, installed toolbox versions, add-ons, scripts, tests, model outputs, plots, logs, and local file paths. The README states anonymized usage data collection is on by default and can be disabled with `--disable-telemetry=true`. Log folders, stderr duplication, extension-file paths, MATLAB roots, and initial working folders can reveal local machine or project context. If MATLAB code calls external services, reads private data, or writes generated outputs, those effects are part of the approved tool call and may be visible to the MCP client and model provider. | ✓Indexed chunks, file paths, symbols, comments, Markdown, PDFs, configuration values, database files, daemon state, and search results can reveal proprietary source code and internal architecture. Embedding, reranking, LLM, and web search providers may receive code-derived queries or snippets if configured. Local ChunkHound database files, logs, daemon state, and MCP transcripts may retain code-derived context after the session ends. Avoid sharing ChunkHound databases, config files with API keys, verbose logs, research outputs, and screenshots from private repositories. | ✓Local indexes, snapshots, file trees, symbol names, dependency graphs, snippets, read results, and search results can reveal proprietary code structure and implementation details. Upstream documents sensitive-file blocking for patterns such as environment files, credentials, and keys, but users should still review ignore rules and avoid indexing secret-heavy directories. CodeDB writes telemetry to `~/.codedb/telemetry.ndjson` unless `CODEDB_NO_TELEMETRY=1` is set, then syncs aggregate tool counts, latency, startup, file count, line count, language, version, and platform data on MCP session close. Upstream telemetry docs state that source code, file contents, file paths, and search queries are not collected. Remote public-repo queries and local MCP responses may still be logged by MCP clients, model providers, and terminal history. | ✓Experiment configurations, feature flag definitions, targeting rules, and experiment results from your GrowthBook workspace are surfaced in Claude's context. Your `GB_API_KEY` is a secret — store it as an environment variable, not in version-controlled config files. |
