MCP Framework for MATLAB Production Server

Publish MATLAB® functions as Model Context Protocol tools on MATLAB Production Server™. AI agents call your functions, offering the speed, reliability, and domain-specific performance of MATLAB.

Prerequisites

• MATLAB R2025b or later
• MATLAB Compiler SDK™
• MATLAB Production Server R2022a or later
• An MCP client (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, VS Code with Copilot, or any HTTP-capable client)

Install

In MATLAB, open the Add-On Explorer (Home tab → Add-Ons) and search for "MCP Framework for MATLAB Production Server." Select Install.

If you use an AI coding agent, register the build skill so the agent can build and deploy tools on your behalf:

prodserver.mcp.agent.setup

Quick Start

To deploy a function as an MCP tool to an instance of MATLAB Production Server running on localhost:9910, run the following MATLAB code.

% Build an MCP tool from a function — the framework runs your example to determine parameter types
ctf = prodserver.mcp.build("principalStress", ...
    example=@() principalStress([120 -50 80], "max"), ...
    server="http://localhost:9910");

% Verify deployment
prodserver.mcp.ping("http://localhost:9910/principalStress/mcp")

% Call the tool directly
prodserver.mcp.call("http://localhost:9910/principalStress/mcp", ...
    "principalStress", [120 -50 80], "maxShear")

Your function is now available to any MCP client connected to that server. See the Getting Started guide for a complete walkthrough.

Key Features

• Building MCP tools — The framework packages your functions and deploys them to MPS. Supports single functions, multi-tool servers, large data, and structured inputs.
• MCP Resources — Serve read-only reference data (material properties, calibration tables) alongside your tools, so the LLM uses real values instead of guessing. Materials example
• Server metrics — Monitor deployed tools with built-in counters at framework, server, and tool level.
• AI agent skills — Let Claude Code build and deploy tools on your behalf from natural language.
• Discovery — Deployed tools register with the MPS discovery endpoint so clients can find them automatically.
