ROS 2 MCP Server

A Python MCP server that bridges MCP clients into ROS 2, the robotics middleware. It runs over stdio, ships as the Docker image mcp/ros2, and exposes ROS 2 introspection and control as tools: listing and subscribing to topics, publishing messages, listing and calling services, and sending, cancelling and monitoring action goals. No authentication mechanism is documented, and no remote endpoint is offered.

Its publisher, WiseVision, builds an open-source ROS 2 and LoRaWAN stack. ROS 2 itself is maintained by Open Robotics and the Open Source Robotics Alliance, so this is a community implementation against ROS 2 rather than a first-party server for it.

Two identity facts are worth recording. The repository was renamed from mcp_server_ros_2 to ros2_mcp, and the repository's own server.json now declares io.github.wise-vision/ros2_mcp, but the published registry record still carries the old name at version 1.0.0 from 2025-11-26. The catalog keeps the registry name as the identity key and points repo_url at the current location. Separately, the repository's documentation refers to three different Docker image names across its install instructions, while the registered and published artifact is docker.io/mcp/ros2.

Spec-revision support is unverified. The README links the 2025-06-18 prompts section of the specification to explain what prompts are, which points at the spec without claiming support for that revision, and the mcp[cli]>=1.23.0 dependency floor establishes an SDK version rather than a protocol revision.
