如何在vscode中配置该mcp？

[CAGTB]

我vscode命令行中输入 matlab-mcp-core-server --setup-matlab，显示了Successfully setup MATLAB.但后续在vscode copilot中却无法通过@来使用mcp插件，我想知道输入matlab-mcp-core-server --setup-matlab后，我还需要写mcp.json文件来使用matlab mcp吗？

Hi @CAGTB, thank you for your interest in the MATLAB MCP Core Server!

The --setup-matlab command is only needed if you want to connect to an already running MATLAB using --matlab-session-mode=existing. It installs a toolbox in MATLAB but does not register the server with VS Code.

To use the MATLAB MCP Core Server with GitHub Copilot in VS Code, you need to create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your workspace. From the README:

In your VS Code workspace, create a file named .vscode/mcp.json. Insert the following JSON, remembering to specify the full path to the server binary you acquired in the setup, as well as any Arguments. Then save the file. (Note that on Windows, your paths require extra slashes as escape characters).

{
    "servers": {
        "matlab": {
            "type": "stdio",
            "command": "C:\\fullpath\\to\\matlab-mcp-core-server-win64.exe",
            "args": []
        }
    }
}

Replace C:\\fullpath\\to\\matlab-mcp-core-server-win64.exe with the actual path to your downloaded binary.
