ROS-MCP-Server connects large language models (such as Claude, GPT, and Gemini) with existing robots giving them bidirectional AI integration.

With no changes to existing robot source code, this enables:

• 🗣 Commanding the robot in natural language → instructions are translated into ROS/ROS2 commands.
• 👀 Giving AI full visibility → subscribe to topics, call services, read sensor data, and monitor robot state in real time.

• No robot code changes → only requires adding the rosbridge node.
• True two-way communication → LLMs can both *control* robots and *observe* everything happening in ROS (sensors, topics, parameters).
• ROS1 & ROS2 support → works with both versions out of the box.
• MCP-compatible → integrates with any MCP-enabled LLM (Claude Desktop, Gemini, ChatGPT, and beyond).

🖥️ Example - Controlling the MOCA mobile manipulator in NVIDIA Isaac Sim Commands are entered into Claude Desktop, which uses the MCP server to directly drive the simulated robot.
