MCP ROS2

AI agents that can actually do things in ROS 2. MCP ROS2 is our Model Context Protocol server that lets any MCP-compatible client (Claude Desktop, Copilot-style tools, terminals) discover topics/services, subscribe, publish, call services, and query historical data.

How it works: From first sensor to fleet deployment - one platform to connect, simulate and automate. Connect with WiseOS, control via ROS 2, validate in Digital Twins, ship with AI Automations.

Use It To

πŸ—£οΈ Natural Language Commands

Turn natural-language instructions into ROS 2 actions (pub/sub, service calls). Simply tell your AI assistant what you want your robot to do, and MCP ROS2 handles the translation.
