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** โ just add the rosbridge node to your existing ROS setup.
- **True two-way communication** โ LLMs can both *control* robots and *observe* everything happening on the Robot.
- **Full context** โ publish & subscribe to topics, call services & actions, set parameters, read sensor data, and monitor robot state in real time.
- **Deep ROS understanding** โ guides the LLM to discover available topics, services, actions, and their types (including custom ones) โ enabling it to use them with the right syntax without manual configuration.
- **Works with any MCP client** โ built on the open MCP standard, supporting Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Cursor, and more.
- **Works across ROS versions** โ compatible across ROS 2 (Jazzy, Humble, and others) and ROS 1 distros.

๐ฅ Examples in Action
---
๐ญ **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.
---
๐ค **Example - Controlling "Wilson" with natural language** (video)
From a single prompt โ *"Grab a Coke from the fridge & go to the living room."* โ 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.
---
๐ **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.
