What is the ROS 2 MCP Server?
The ROS 2 MCP Server is a Python-based tool that integrates with ROS 2 through the Model Context Protocol (MCP), allowing AI assistants to control robot movement by sending instructions. The server supports time-based motion control, such as making the robot move forward at a specific speed for a period of time and then stop.How to use the ROS 2 MCP Server?
Simply configure the MCP client (such as Claude) and then send instructions to the server. The server will control the robot to publish corresponding movement commands on the ROS 2 topic according to the received instructions.Applicable Scenarios
Suitable for scenarios that require remote control of robots, such as home service robots, industrial automation, or educational purposes.Main Features
MCP Protocol Integration
Supports receiving instructions from AI assistants through the FastMCP framework.
Time-based Control
Allows specifying the duration of the robot's movement, such as moving forward for a few seconds and then stopping.
ROS 2 Native Support
Interacts directly with ROS 2 without additional adaptation.
Advantages
Easy to use, suitable for beginners.
Compatible with the ROS 2 ecosystem.
Supports operation with multiple AI assistants.
Limitations
Currently only supports the `/cmd_vel` topic.
Additional development is required for complex behaviors.
How to Use
Install Dependencies
Ensure that Python 3.10 and ROS 2 Humble version are installed.
Start the MCP Server
Run the script to start the ROS 2 MCP Server.
Usage Examples
Basic Movement
Send a simple movement instruction to the server.
Multi-step Task
Combine multiple instructions to achieve a complex movement sequence.
