Tools

This server runs locally, so its tools are listed by your MCP client once it starts.

Environment variables

Name	Description
`CM_PROJECT` Required	CarMaker project folder. All writes are confined to it.
`CM_MODEL` Optional	Simulink model that cm_session_start opens (name on the MATLAB path, or a file).
`CM_MATLAB_SESSION` Optional	Name under which MATLAB shares its engine.
`CM_POPUP_TIMEOUT` Optional	Seconds after which CarMaker GUI pop-ups answer themselves with their default choice. Not set: they wait for a click.
`CM_ENABLE` Optional	Optional tools, comma separated: tcl (raw Tcl in the GUI), experimental (Simulink structure edits).
`CM_DISABLE` Optional	Tool groups to switch off, comma separated: standalone, study, matlab.
