From the README

ROS-MCP-Server connects large language models (such as Claude, GPT, and Gemini) to robots, enabling bidirectional communication with no changes to existing robot source code. - **No robot source code changes** → just add the node to your existing ROS setup. - **True two-way communication** → LLMs can both *control* robots and *observe* everything happening on the Robot. - **Full context** → publish & subscribe to topics, call services & actions, set parameters, read sensor data, and monitor robot state in real time. - **Deep ROS understanding** → guides the LLM to discover available topics…
