ROS MCP Server

Example Use Cases

• 1

  Publish to or monitor ROS2 topics using natural language prompts and arbitrary message types.

• 2

  Call, list, and inspect ROS2 services and to send goals to ROS2 actions programmatically.

• 3

  Launch and control local ROS GUI tools (like Gazebo or rqt_graph) and perform environment debugging via a WebSocket socket server.

Description

ROS MCP provides a Python-based MCP that converts natural language commands into ROS2 operations, supporting topics, services, and actions for any ROS message type. It includes a separate local WebSocket socket server to launch GUI tools (e.g., Gazebo, rqt_graph) and requires matching ROS_DOMAIN_ID settings to communicate across machines. The project is designed for ROS2 Humble and integrates with Claude Desktop for natural language processing. It simplifies robot control, environment debugging, and process management through conversational prompts.
