Frequently asked questions
MATLAB MCP Server is categorized under Code Execution and uses an install path we have not confirmed yet. MCP Js belongs to Code Execution and uses a remote HTTP/SSE transport. Pick MATLAB MCP Server for code execution work and MCP Js 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.
MATLAB MCP Server has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. Auth: no auth required. MCP Js is listed as free. Auth: api key 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 matlab-mcp-server and r33drichards-mcp-js as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
