                                    This work presents visual morphological and dynamical classifications for 637 spatially resolved galaxies, most of which are at intermediate redshift (  $z\sim0.3$  ), in the Middle-Ages Galaxy Properties with Integral field spectroscopy (MAGPI) Survey. For each galaxy, we obtain a minimum of 11 independent visual classifications by knowledgeable classifiers. We use an extension of the standard Dawid-Skene bayesian model introducing classifier-specific confidence parameters and galaxy-specific difficulty parameters to quantify classifier confidence and infer reliable statistical confidence estimates. Selecting sub-samples of 86 bright (  $r\lt20$   mag) high-confidence (  $\gt0.98$  ) morphological classifications at redshifts (  $0.2 \le z \le0.4$  ), we confirm the full range of morphological types is represented in MAGPI as intended in the survey design. Similarly, with a sub-sample of 82 bright high-confidence stellar kinematic classifications, we find that the rotating and non-rotating galaxies seen at low redshift are already in place at intermediate redshifts. We do not find evidence that the kinematic morphology–density relation seen at   $z\sim0$   is established at   $z\sim0.3$  . We suggest that galaxies without obvious stellar rotation are dynamically pre-processed sometime before   $z\sim0.3$   within lower mass groups before joining denser environments.
