| Changes | Action Required |
|---|---|
| Binary names New format: matlab-mcp-server-<os>-<arch>[.exe]Example: matlab-mcp-server-windows-x64.exe |
Update the binary name in the configuration settings of your AI application, usually a .json file. |
| Toolbox Updated and renamed: MATLAB MCP Core Server Toolbox → MATLAB MCP Server Toolbox |
Install the latest version of the toolbox by running ./matlab-mcp-server --setup-matlab. You require the toolbox to connect to existing MATLAB sessions. For details, see matlab-session-mode in the Arguments section. |
Repository URLgithub.com/matlab/matlab-mcp-core-server → github.com/matlab/matlab-mcp-server |
None. GitHub redirects automatically. |
| MCP Bundle Updated and renamed: matlab-mcp-core-server.mcpb → matlab-mcp-server.mcpb |
If you used the MATLAB MCP bundle to install the MCP server in Claude Desktop, first uninstall the server, then download the new matlab-mcp-server.mcpb bundle and use it re-install the server. For details, see the section on Claude Desktop. |
Go modulegithub.com/matlab/matlab-mcp-core-server → github.com/matlab/matlab-mcp-server |
If you are using the MATLAB MCP Core Server module in a Go project, update the module name in go.mod and your import declarations. |
