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-servertomatlab-mcp-server. See the MATLAB MCP Server GitHub® repository for details. The repository URL redirects automatically. The Agentic Toolkit Installer and thematlab-agentic-toolkit-setupskill 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 bymatlab-model-rf. If you reference removed skill names in custom configurations, update them tomatlab-model-rf.
