Connect AI Language Models with Robots on ROS using MCP


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.

It uses the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to allow LLMs to publish/subscribe to
ROS topics, call services & actions, set parameters, and monitor robot state in
real time via a rosbridge WebSocket connection.

Supports ROS 2 (Jazzy, Humble, and others) and ROS 1 distributions.

When using HTTP or Streamable HTTP transports, the snap automatically runs
the server as a background daemon. Set the transport via snap set ros-mcp-server transport=http (or transport=streamable-http)
and the daemon will start automatically.

Usage:
ros-mcp-server # stdio transport (default)
ros-mcp-server --transport http --port 9000 # HTTP transport
ros-mcp-server --transport streamable-http --port 8080 # Streamable HTTP transport
