Connect to a MATLAB session started from the MATLAB MCP Core Server

[yanndebray]

This feature request is the reverse workflow of the one described here:
matlab/matlab-mcp-core-server#9

In the scenario when the MATLAB MCP Core Server creates .m files in an empty project:

• Opening those files after a tool call of the MCP Server will spawn a second MATLAB session
• Here, the expectation is for the MATLAB extension for VSCode to reuse the MATLAB session started by the MCP server

Another workflow that starts a MATLAB session is on the first time the MATLAB MCP Core Server is installed (either globally or for the workspace).

Ideally, the VS Code extension should be able to connect to any already running MATLAB session.

Workflow:

• I am doing work in MATLAB, I have a project open, Simulink models, etc.
• I need AI Help more advanced than what MATLAB Copilot can do
• I launch VS Code with an AI plugin (GitHub Copilot, Claude, Gemini, etc)
• The AI plugin generates a new version of some code in my project
• If the AI plugin decides to call the MATLAB MCP server, it should do it using my already opened MATLAB session
• Whether or not I use the MCP server, I should be able to copy the AI proposed code in the desired file in the VS Code Editor and run it from VS Code through the MATLAB Extension in the already opened MATLAB session.
