Key Implementation Strategy

Use MATLAB Engine API - Most reliable for Simulink control Focus on JSON-RPC MCP protocol - Standard communication Implement async operations - Non-blocking simulations Create simple demo models - Show practical use cases

Realistic MVP Scope

✅ Basic model CRUD operations ✅ Simple block manipulation ✅ Simulation execution & results ✅ Model visualization export ❌ Complex model generation ❌ Advanced signal processing ❌ Real-time simulation

Hackathon Advantage Strategy

Innovation: First Simulink MCP server Technical: Solid MATLAB integration Usability: Clear CLI/API interface Impact: Enables remote Simulink automation
