Connects agents to live Jupyter notebooks: read, write, insert and execute cells and read multimodal outputs like charts, for interactive data analysis. Bring your own JupyterLab or JupyterHub; open source, maintained by Datalayer.

MathWorks' official toolkit: set up the MCP server via the MATLAB installer so agents can run code, run tests and do static checks; domain skill sets for signal processing, controls, statistics and machine learning install as Claude Code plugins. Needs MATLAB R2021a+.

Graph database MCP server from Neo4j Labs: reads the graph schema and runs read and write Cypher queries, with read-only mode, query timeouts and response token limits. Needs a Neo4j instance with the APOC plugin enabled.

Drives desktop Excel on Windows: refresh Power Query, build pivot tables and charts, evaluate DAX and run VBA while keeping existing formulas and formatting, so finance and admin staff can automate existing reports. Needs Windows, Excel 2016+ and Node.js; no macOS.
