What it does

ROS MCP Server enables AI models like Claude, GPT, and Gemini to control and monitor robots in real-time. It acts as a bridge between the Model Context Protocol and Robot Operating System (ROS/ROS2), allowing LLMs to interact with robot hardware without requiring changes to the existing robot source code.

Tools

Topic Interaction: Publish and subscribe to ROS topics to monitor sensor data or send commands.
Service/Action Caller: Execute ROS services and actions to trigger specific robot behaviors.
Parameter Manager: Read and set ROS parameters to configure robot state.
System Discovery: Dynamically discover available topics, services, and actions, including custom types.
