I Built a MCP Server for Robot Operating System

What it does

MCP server for ROS to control robots via topics, services, and actions. - Yutarop/ros-mcp

ROS MCP is a MCP server designed for controlling robots in ROS environments using natural language. It supports communication via ROS topics, services, and actions, and works with any ROS message type. Show me service list and call service to reset the world in Gazebo. Show me action list and call action to move the TurtleBot3 forward for 1m. Socket Server ( socket_server.py ): A lightweight server that runs on localhost:8765 to handle GUI-related operations. It receives instructions from the MCP server to launch tools such as Gazebo or rqt_graph on the local display. MCP Server ( ros-general.py ): A Python-based server that implements the MCP. It processes natural language input, maps it…from github.com

In the maker’s words, at launch

I've been experimenting with ROS (Robot Operating System) and the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and noticed a gap: while there were some MCP servers for ROS, most were limited. They either only supported topic communication or had hard-coded topic names, which severely limited their reusability. To address this, I…

  Robot MCP Server – Connect Any Language Model and ROS Robots Using MCP2025 · github.com · ▲26

  We’ve open-sourced the Robot MCP Server, a tool that lets large language models (LLMs) talk directly to robots running ROS1 or ROS2. What it does - Connects any LLM to existing ROS robots via the Model Context Protocol (MCP) - Natural language → ROS topics, services, and actions (And the ability to read any of them back) - Works without changing robot source code Why it matters - Makes robots accessible from natural language interfaces - Opens the door to rapid prototyping of AI-robot applications - We are trying to create a common interface for safe AI ↔ robot communication This is too big…

  Open-Source MCP Server for Context and AI Tools2025 · ▲43

  Large Language Models (LLMs) are powerful, but they’re limited by fixed context windows and outdated knowledge. What if your AI could access live search, structured data extraction, OCR, and more—all through a standardized interface? We built the JigsawStack MCP Server, an open-source implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that lets any AI model call external tools effortlessly. Here’s what it unlocks: - Web Search & Scraping: Fetch live information and extract structured data from web pages. - OCR & Structured Data Extraction: Process images, receipts, invoices, and handwritten…

  Hey HN, I built pg-mcp, a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for PostgreSQL that provides structured schema inspection and query execution for LLMs and agents. It's multi-tenant and runs over HTTP/SSE (not stdio) Features - Supports multiple database connections from multiple agents - Schema Introspection: Returns table structures, types, indexes and constraints; enriched with descriptions from pg_catalog. (for well documented databases) - Read-Only Queries: Controlled execution of queries via MCP. - EXPLAIN Tool: Helps smart agents optimize queries before execution. - Extension…

  An MCP server that gives LLMs temporal awareness and time calculation2025 · github.com · ▲91

  This is an open‑source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that gives any LLM a sense of the passage of time. Most MCP demos wire LLMs to external data stores. That’s useful, but MCP is also a chance to give models perception — extra senses beyond the prompt text. Six functions (`current_datetime`, `time_difference`, `timestamp_context`, etc.) give Claude&#x2F;GPT real temporal awareness: It can spot pauses, reason about rhythms, and even label a chat’s “three‑act structure”. Runs locally in <60 s (Python) or via a hosted demo. If time works, what else could we surface? - Location &#x2F;…

  I'm an airline pilot – I built interactive graphs/globes of my flights▲1,539

  Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;jameshard.ing&#x2F;pilot&#x2F;globes&#x2F;all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

  Workout.cool – Open-source fitness coaching platform▲827

  I was the main contributor to workout.lol, an open-source fitness app to easily build a workout routine. The project had traction (1.4k GitHub stars, 95 forks, ~20K visits&#x2F;month), but was eventually sold due to video licensing hurdles. The new owner stopped maintaining it, and the repo went abandoned. Over the next 9 months, I sent 15 emails to try to save it : no replies. Feature requests & issues were ignored. The community was left with a "broken" tool let's say. I couldn't just let it die So I built the new version from scratch with the same open-source spirit, but a better…
