Compute ConnectorCode Execution · Remote HTTP/SSELow on memory? Your bot sends heavy jobs to cloud sandboxes on your own provider keys. Flat fee.51GoodAuth: not declaredVerdict: choose Compute Connector for code execution work over a hosted endpoint; choose MATLAB MCP Server for code execution. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.
Which MCP server should you choose?
CChoose Compute Connector when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Code Execution domain.
- You prefer a remote HTTP/SSE transport.
- You want tools like
check_memory, run_job, save_provider_key.
Choose MATLAB MCP Server when
- You need dedicated capabilities in the Code Execution domain.
- Its auth model fits you: No auth required.
- You want tools like
script_path, code, project_path.

check_memoryBefore a heavy job, send how much memory the machine your agent runs on has free (free -m, os.freemem()) and what you are about to run. Get a memory warning and a verdict: run_local, or offload with the provider to use. Free watch-only logs would_offload for the weekly report; nothing runs.run_jobPro: run a shell command in a fresh cloud sandbox on your own provider account (vercel (Vercel Sandbox, default), e2b, daytona, modal, workers (Workers Sandbox)) and get the exit code and the last 16 KB of stdout and stderr back. Send small input files with it. The sandbox is created for the job and stopped right after, so nothing idles on your bill. Free watch-only logs would_offload and runs nothing.save_provider_keyPro, owner only: save one provider key, sealed with AES-256-GCM before it reaches the database. Providers: vercel (Vercel Sandbox, default), e2b, daytona, modal, workers (Workers Sandbox). Vercel needs team_id and project_id; Modal and Workers Sandbox need bridge_url (see provider_setup). The key is checked with a read-only call first and is never returned or logged. Free stores nothing.list_providersEvery provider this connects to, how each one runs, and (with your key) the provider keys you saved: name, provider, fingerprint, default, last used. Never shows a key.delete_provider_keyPro, owner only: delete a saved provider key by name. Jobs on that key stop working at once.provider_setupStep-by-step setup for one provider: where to get the key, what to pass to save_provider_key, links to its docs and price page, and for Modal or Workers Sandbox the bridge code to deploy on your own account.weekly_reportPlain-English summary of the last 7 days: memory checks, low-memory warnings, jobs that would have been offloaded (free) or ran (Pro) by provider, minutes and failures. Read-only; sends nothing. Needs an API key.usage_and_upgradeShow today's usage for your key or IP and the $9/month upgrade link. Free tier: 500 calls/day. Not metered.

Frequently asked questions
Compute Connector is categorized under Code Execution and uses a remote HTTP/SSE transport. MATLAB MCP Server belongs to Code Execution and uses an install path we have not confirmed yet. Pick Compute Connector for code execution work and MATLAB MCP Server for code execution.
Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client. MATLAB MCP Server has no confirmed install command yet — follow its own setup instructions.
Compute Connector is bring-your-own-key: usage is billed by the API provider you supply a key for. MATLAB MCP Server has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. Auth: no auth required. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.
Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add compute-connector and matlab-mcp-server as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
