Description
This feature request is the reverse workflow of the one described here:
https://github.com/matlab/matlab-mcp-core-server/issues/9
In the scenario when the MATLAB MCP Core Server creates .m files in an empty project:
- Opening those files after a tool call of the MCP Server will spawn a second MATLAB session
- Here, the expectation is for the MATLAB extension for VSCode to reuse the MATLAB session started by the MCP server
Another workflow that starts a MATLAB session is on the first time the MATLAB MCP Core Server is installed (either globally or for the workspace).

Research direction
Start by reading the reverse workflow in the linked MATLAB MCP Core Server issue #9 and compare it with the two session-starting scenarios described here. Trace the extension's MATLAB session connection entry points and the MCP Server installation or tool-call flow; done means files opened in VS Code reuse the existing session instead of spawning a second one.
