MBD Mind

Installation

MBD Mind is a desktop-first app for solo engineers working in MATLAB and Simulink. You need a free account before the desktop app can sync settings, usage, and updates.

Before you start

  • Windows 10/11 or macOS (Apple Silicon or Intel)
  • Internet access for account sign-in and optional cloud LLMs
  • MATLAB R2021b+ and the Simulink Agentic Toolkit only if you want live model tools (see MATLAB MCP requirements)

Step 1 — Create a free account

  1. Go to mbdmind.com/signup.
  2. Enter your email and a password (8+ characters). Display name is optional.
  3. Click Create free account. No payment is required for the soft launch.

You can also use Continue with Google when Google sign-in is enabled for your environment.

Signing up creates a personal workspace (one seat) tied to your email.

Step 2 — Download the desktop app

  1. Open mbdmind.com/download.
  2. Download the installer for your platform (Windows or macOS).
  3. Run the installer and launch MBD Mind.

The installer bundles MathWorks skills under resources/skills/ as a fallback for Simulink workflows.

Step 3 — Sign in on desktop

  1. On the welcome screen, leave Remember me on this device checked if this is your machine.
  2. Click Sign in with browser (or Continue with Google).
  3. Complete sign-in in your browser. The desktop app receives the session via mbdmind://auth/callback and returns you to the main window.

If sign-in stalls, confirm you created an account on the web first, then try again from the desktop login screen.

On Windows, allow the browser redirect to open MBD Mind when prompted. macOS may ask you to confirm opening the app from your browser.

Windows: Unknown publisher

Early releases may show Windows protected your PC or Publisher: Unknown because the installer is not yet signed with a commercial code-signing certificate. The download from mbdmind.com/download is the official source.

To install an unsigned build:

  1. On the SmartScreen dialog, click More info.
  2. Click Run anyway.
  3. Complete the installer and launch MBD Mind.

Signed releases show Publisher: MBDMind Company and do not require this step.

What happens after sign-in

  • Your personal org is linked to the desktop session.
  • Auto-updates use your org's update channel (stable by default).
  • Usage and agent sessions can sync to your account when online.
