What's New (2026.05.06)

Alternative Installer (experimental)

A new MATLAB-based installer is available that can set up the toolkit without consuming agent tokens. It offers:

• Support for connecting to an existing MATLAB session (--matlab-session-mode=existing)
• Per-project configuration (not just global)
• One-step setup of both the MATLAB and Simulink Agentic Toolkits

This installer is initially delivered in the Simulink Agentic Toolkit — download agenticToolkitInstaller.mltbx from the Simulink Agentic Toolkit releases page.

New install locations

The MCP server binary and toolkit configuration have moved to a shared location used by both the MATLAB and Simulink Agentic Toolkits:

Item	Old location	New location
MCP server binary	~/.local/bin/matlab-mcp-core-server	~/.matlab/agentic-toolkits/bin/matlab-mcp-core-server
Config file	~/.matlab-agentic-toolkit/config.json	~/.matlab/agentic-toolkits/config.json

The setup skill automatically migrates existing installations to the new locations. No manual action is required.

Improved Skills

• matlab-agentic-toolkit-setup — Aligned install paths with the Simulink Agentic Toolkit for shared configuration.
• matlab-install-products — Added per-item verification: the agent now confirms each requested product and support package was actually installed, rather than just checking for the MATLAB binary.
• matlab-design-digital-filter — Added cost() for computational complexity analysis; corrected deprecated iirnotch guidance to use designfilt("notchiir").

Renamed Skills

The following skills have been renamed:

• matlab-building-apps → matlab-build-app

What's New — 2026.04.10

Patch release fixing Claude Code MCP server configuration.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed Claude Code MCP config path — Setup was writing to ~/.claude/.mcp.json, which is not a valid config location. Now uses claude mcp add CLI to register the MCP server correctly in ~/.claude/settings.json.
• Added migration for legacy artifacts — Setup detects and cleans up the invalid ~/.claude/.mcp.json file left by previous versions.
• Inlined Claude Code setup instructions — Setup instructions are now embedded directly in SKILL.md to prevent stale plugin cache from serving outdated guidance.

• MCP template files moved to a dedicated templates/ folder
• Fixed macOS MATLAB discovery for non-standard directory names

Skills

• All matlab-core skills renamed with matlab- prefix for consistency (e.g., debugging → matlab-debugging)
• Creating Live Scripts — Improved for human-readable plain-text output

Documentation

• Restructured docs for platform neutrality
• Cleaned up Getting Started guide
