What's New (2026.06.18)

Compatibility Considerations

  • MCP Core Server renamed to MCP Server: The MATLAB® MCP Server binary is now renamed from matlab-mcp-core-server to matlab-mcp-server. See the MATLAB MCP Server GitHub® repository for details. The repository URL redirects automatically. The Agentic Toolkit Installer and the matlab-agentic-toolkit-setup skill now use the new binary name.
  • RF and Mixed Signal plugin restructured: 13 individual RF skills (matlab-analyze-rf-amplifier, matlab-analyze-rf-budget, matlab-analyze-rf-mixer, matlab-compose-rf-circuit, matlab-convert-network-parameters, matlab-create-rfbudget-elements, matlab-deembed-rf-cascade, matlab-design-matching-network, matlab-fit-rational-model, matlab-manage-sparameters, matlab-model-si-channel, matlab-process-rf-baseband, matlab-simulate-rf-system) are replaced by matlab-model-rf. If you reference removed skill names in custom configurations, update them to matlab-model-rf.

New Plugins

  • MATLAB External Language Interfaces — 2 skills for calling Python® libraries from MATLAB and upgrading MEX files from the separate complex API to the interleaved complex API.
  • Aerospace Toolbox — 1 skill for coordinate frame, rotation, time system, and unit conversions.
  • Cloud Solutions — 1 skill for sharing MATLAB content via GitHub, MATLAB Drive, or File Exchange with "Open in MATLAB Online" URLs.

New Skills in Existing Plugins

  • MATLAB Software Developmentmatlab-write-help for generating or improving MATLAB help text following MathWorks documentation standards.
  • AI and Statisticsmatlab-deploy-embedded-ai for deploying AI models to embedded hardware using MATLAB and Simulink® code generation.
  • Image Processing and Computer Visionmatlab-point-cloud-file-io for reading and writing 3-D point cloud data (PLY, PCD, LAS/LAZ, PCAP, E57, IDC); matlab-point-cloud-registration for aligning 3-D point clouds using ICP, NDT, LOAM, FGR, phase correlation, and CPD.
  • Parallel Computingmatlab-diagnose-parfor for diagnosing and fixing parfor variable classification errors.
  • Radarmatlab-simulate-radar-detections for simulating statistical radar detections in surveillance and tracking scenarios.
  • RF and Mixed Signalmatlab-model-rf consolidates 13 previous skills into a single comprehensive skill for RF system design, analysis, and simulation using RF Toolbox and RF Blockset; matlab-analyze-ams-waveform for phase noise, jitter, and timing measurements from AMS simulation waveforms; matlab-model-ams-systems for modeling PLL frequency synthesizers from IC datasheets using Mixed-Signal Blockset.
  • Signal Processingmatlab-play-record-audio for playing and recording audio using audiostreamer; matlab-write-audio-plugin for authoring Audio Toolbox plugins that compile to VST/AU.
  • Test and Measurementmatlab-connect-arduino for discovering and connecting to Arduino® boards via USB; matlab-create-custom-arduino-library for creating custom Arduino add-on libraries; matlab-enhance-camera-image for diagnosing and enhancing image quality from connected cameras; matlab-find-pi-assets for querying PI Data Archive tags and Asset Framework elements; matlab-import-vehicle-data for importing and decoding vehicle network log files (ASC, BLF, MDF, DAT, TXT); matlab-use-cameras for acquiring images using Image Acquisition Toolbox.
  • Wireless Communicationsmatlab-design-ofdm-system for designing and simulating custom OFDM systems with fading channels, equalization, synchronization, and LDPC coding.

Improved Skills

  • matlab-analyze-data — Added guidance for summary as a first-step exploration tool, timetable duplicate resolution, median fill for missing data, and avoiding per-variable for loops.
  • matlab-create-live-script — Added .mlx-to-plain-text conversion recipe, character escaping rules, mfilename limitation note, and expanded formatting reference.
  • matlab-display-image — Added bigimageshow deprecation guidance, uidraw multi-annotation pattern, uipaint brush labeling, linkviewers, viewer title and camera viewport patterns, and overlay alpha mapping.
  • matlab-optimize-memory — Fixed profiler invocation and measurement variable reference; added TotalMemAllocated zero fallback guidance.
  • matlab-validate-function-arguments — Updated the .?ClassName class-import example to use a class with public-settable properties; documented silent absorption of unknown name-value args with repeating blocks.

Bug Fixes

  • Version numbers in several SKILL.md files are now corrected to match the version defined in their corresponding manifest.yaml files.
