unitree-go2-mcp-server · Install

Installation

Setup unitree_ros2 environment (follow instructions up to 'Step 2: Connect and test' from https://github.com/unitreerobotics/unitree_ros2)

Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/lpigeon/unitree-go2-mcp-server.git
cd unitree-go2-mcp-server

Install uv:

curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

Configure MCP server by adding to mcp.json:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "unitree-go2-mcp-server": {
            "command": "uv",
            "args": [
              "--directory",
              "/ABSOLUTE/PATH/TO/PARENT/FOLDER/unitree-go2-mcp-server",
              "run",
              "server.py"
            ]
        }
    }
}

Set environment variables in server.py (UNITREE_ROS2_SETUP_SH_PATH, LOCAL_IP, etc.)
