Error in linking Claude with MATLAB using MCP server
Show older comments
I tried to link my claude with MATLAB using the MCP server. However there is some issue in the connection. I am receing these error messges in claude:
Could not attach to MCP server MATLAB
MCP MATLAB: Server disconnected.
Unable to connect to extension server. Please try disabling and re-enabling the extension.
I downloaded the MCP server from github and added it to the extensions in claude. I tried both - mcpb version (matlab-mcp-core-server.mcpb) and the win64 application (matlab-mcp-core-server-win64) method to try adding the extension. Still some command or settings is blocking the process.
I have also attached the screenshots of the extensions and developer tabs of claude for reference.


Is there any other setting or procedure I am missing? What might be the error here...

Same problem! Mathworks and Anthropic should do something about it.

Similar problem found. Under the same setup, Claude desktop is the only application that fails to use Matlab MCP server. I believe the extension is correctly configured for Claude, and Claude recognizes it when trying to bridge Matlab software. But the server itself fails to request that, and Claude just waits for a response until timeout. This does not happen to any other agent after being tested, such as Codex or Opencode. It is a UNIQUE problem for Claude using Matlab MCP server. Waiting for a solution.
