ROS MCP Server 🧠⇄🤖

ros-mcp-server

ROS-MCP-Server connects large language models (such as Claude, GPT, and Gemini) to robots, enabling bidirectional communication with no changes to existing robot source code.

Why ROS-MCP?

  • No robot source code changes → just add the rosbridge node to your existing ROS setup.
  • True two-way communication → LLMs can both control robots and observe everything happening on the Robot.
  • Full context → publish & subscribe to topics, call services & actions, set parameters, read sensor data, and monitor robot state in real time.
  • Deep ROS understanding → guides the LLM to discover available topics, services, actions, and their types (including custom ones) — enabling it to use them with the right syntax without manual configuration.
  • Works with any MCP client → built on the open MCP standard, supporting Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more.
  • Works across ROS versions → compatible across ROS 2 (Jazzy, Humble, and others) and ROS 1 distros.

🎥 Examples in Action

ROS MCP demos

🏭 Example - AI Agent diagnosis of Industrial Robot End Effector (Video)

  • The MCP server connects Claude to a production industrial robot, with only the technician manuals as reference.
  • Claude discovers the robot's custom topic and service types and their syntax on its own.
  • From a single prompt to test the gripper, it reads the manuals, runs its own tests, finds an anomaly, and reports the root cause.

Testing and debugging an industrial robot

🤖 Example - Controlling "Wilson" with natural language (video)
From a single prompt — "Grab a Coke from the fridge & go to the living room." — Google Gemini uses the MCP server to navigate and manipulate autonomously. Built on ROS 2 with Nav2 (SLAM) for mapping and navigation, and MoveIt to command the manipulator.

Wilson robot controlled with natural language

🐕 Example - Controlling Unitree Go2 in NVIDIA Isaac Sim (video)
The MCP server connects Claude to a simulated Unitree Go2 quadruped in NVIDIA Isaac Sim, interpreting natural language commands to navigate and control the robot.
