MATLAB Project Creation

Creates a fully configured MATLAB project from an existing folder of MATLAB code using matlab.project.* APIs via the MATLAB MCP server.

When to Use

• User says "create a project", "set up a MATLAB project", or "initialize project"
• User has a folder of MATLAB files that needs project infrastructure
• Before matlab-create-buildfile — a project must exist first

When NOT to Use

• A MATLAB project already exists (.prj file with resources/project/ folder) — use openProject instead
• User wants to create a toolbox spec — use matlab-define-toolbox-api
• User wants build automation — use matlab-create-buildfile (after the project exists)
