MATLAB Agentic Toolkit equips AI coding agents with expert knowledge and a live connection to MATLAB. Your agent learns to write idiomatic code, generate and run tests, diagnose errors, build apps, and leverage the full breadth of MATLAB toolboxes. The toolkit ships configurations for leading platforms and is designed to evolve as the agentic AI landscape changes.
- Run MATLAB code and execute tests directly from your AI agent using MCP tools.
- Equip agents with curated skills for testing, debugging, app building, and code review.
- Works with Claude® Code, GitHub Copilot®, OpenAI® Codex, Sourcegraph Amp, and Gemini CLI®.
- Free and open-source—requires a local MATLAB installation and an AI service subscription.
What Is MATLAB Agentic Toolkit?
Live Connection to MATLAB via MCP
Connect your agent to MATLAB through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). The MATLAB MCP Server provides five built-in tools that let agents run code, execute tests, perform static analysis, and detect installed toolboxes. Compatible with Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Amp, and Gemini CLI.
Agent Skills for Expert MATLAB Workflows
The toolkit provides curated skills that teach your agent how an experienced MATLAB engineer would approach a task. Core MATLAB skills cover unit testing, app building, code review, debugging, and code modernization, so your agent writes idiomatic code and minimizes token burn.
Quick Start and Multi-Platform Setup
Clone the repository, launch your preferred coding agent, and ask it to set up the toolkit. The agent automatically installs and configures the MATLAB MCP Server, registers the plugin, and verifies the environment. Skills are self-contained SKILL.md files that work with any platform.
Open-Source on GitHub
Explore the code, customize skills, and integrate the toolkit into your workflows. The toolkit requires a MATLAB installation and a subscription to an AI service.
MATLAB Agentic Toolkit FAQs
MATLAB Agentic Toolkit is a free, open-source package that equips AI coding agents with expert knowledge and a live connection to MATLAB. It enables agents to write idiomatic code, generate and run tests, diagnose errors, build apps, and leverage the full breadth of MATLAB toolboxes.
The toolkit works with any agentic ai tools which support MCP. Examples include: Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex, Sourcegraph Amp, and Gemini CLI. It is designed to evolve as the agentic AI landscape changes
The toolkit uses Model Context Protocol (MCP) through MATLAB MCP Server, which provides five built-in tools that let agents run code, execute tests, perform static analysis, and detect installed toolboxes.
The toolkit is free and open-source, but it requires a local MATLAB installation and access to an AI service that supports MCP.
The toolkit includes curated skills covering MATLAB core capabilities such as unit testing, app building, code review, debugging, and code generation, and domain-specific capabilities for industry and vertical applications. These files help agents approach tasks the way an experienced MATLAB engineer would. Capabilities are continuously added to the skills catalog, so it’s recommended to check for updates regularly.
Download agenticToolkitInstaller.mltbx from the MATLAB Agentic Toolkit GitHub page, open it in MATLAB, then run: setupAgenticToolkit("install") When prompted, select the skill groups you want. You can rerun the setup command later to add more skills.
Yes, skills are self-contained SKILL.md files that work with any platform, allowing you to explore the code, customize skills, and integrate the toolkit into your own workflows.
