ROS2 MCP

ROS2 MCP is an open-source (MPL-2.0) Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for ROS 2 Humble and Jazzy, written in Python. It lets AI tools such as Claude, Cursor and Codex list, subscribe to, publish on and call ROS 2 topics, services and actions over stdio (or SSE). It is listed in Docker's official MCP catalog as mcp/ros2.

Every tool is free and open source, including multi-topic subscribe/publish, map-to-image and point-cloud bird's-eye view.

🔒 Security: read-only mode

An agent connected to a real robot can move it. Start the server in read-only mode to let the agent observe but not act:

ROS2_MCP_READONLY=1 uv run mcp_ros_2_server      # env var
uv run mcp_ros_2_server --read-only              # or CLI flag
docker run -i --rm -e ROS2_MCP_READONLY=1 mcp/ros2

In read-only mode the tools that change robot state are not registered at all: they do not appear in listtools, and calling one returns an Unknown tool error. The hidden tools are: ros2topicpublish, ros2publishmultipletopics, ros2servicecall, ros2sendactiongoal, ros2cancelactiongoal. Read-only mode fails closed: only tools that were explicitly reviewed as read-only (listed in server/toolsafety.py) are registered, and a test fails if a new tool is added without being classified. ros2service_call is hidden because the server cannot know whether an arbitrary service has side effects.
