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").

What's New — 2026.04.20

New Skills

• matlab-install-products — Install MATLAB toolboxes and support packages from the command line using MATLAB Package Manager (mpm).
• matlab-list-products — List all installed MATLAB products and support packages for a given installation.
• matlab-map-database-objects — Generate MATLAB Object Relational Mapping (ORM) code using Database Toolbox.
• matlab-read-database — Read data from relational databases using Database Toolbox pushdown capabilities.
• matlab-write-database — Write data from MATLAB to relational databases and perform database operations.
• matlab-use-duckdb — Generate MATLAB code for DuckDB database operations using Database Toolbox.

New Plugins

Skills are now organized into five installable plugins (up from two):

• matlab-core — Debugging, testing, code review, Live Scripts, and the two new product management skills.
• matlab-app-building — Build apps with uifigure and App Designer.
• matlab-software-development — Code modernization and development workflows.
• reporting-and-database-access — All four new database skills.
• toolkit — Setup and configuration.

Improved Skills

• matlab-debugging — Major rewrite with improved diagnostic workflows and breakpoint management.
• matlab-agentic-toolkit-setup — Default display mode changed from nodesktop to desktop so MATLAB launches with the full desktop visible. Improved robustness on Windows with correct path escaping across all platform setup guides. Marketplace URL is now derived from the user's git remote instead of being hardcoded.

Renamed Skills

The following skills have been renamed:

• matlab-building-apps → matlab-build-app
• matlab-modernizing-code → matlab-modernize-code
• matlab-creating-live-scripts → matlab-create-live-script
• matlab-reviewing-code → matlab-review-code

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.

What's New — 2026.04.09

Multi-Platform Agent Support

The setup skill now configures MCP and skills for multiple AI coding agents beyond Claude Code:

• GitHub Copilot — Automated MCP configuration for VS Code
• Google Gemini CLI — Automated setup with skills at ~/.agents/skills/
• Sourcegraph Amp — Global MCP config with workspace guidance
• OpenAI Codex — Plugin metadata and setup documentation
• Cursor — Plugin manifest and MCP template fixes

Setup Skill Improvements

• Skills now install to a shared location (~/.agents/skills/) usable by all platforms
• Setup skill owns all MCP configuration (removed mcpServers from plugin manifest)
• 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
