rviz-mcp

rviz-mcp is an MCP server so AI agents can control RViz2 displays, fixed frames, and views — with a full offline mock for CI and demos (no ROS/RViz install required).

Product: mergeos-bounties/rviz-mcp

Install (one command)

Grok — recommended

pip install "git+https://github.com/mergeos-bounties/rviz-mcp.git" && grok plugin install mergeos-bounties/rviz-mcp --trust

This installs the Python CLI (rviz-mcp) and the Grok plugin (skill + MCP server from .mcp.json).

Check:

rviz-mcp version
rviz-mcp doctor
rviz-mcp demo
grok plugin list
grok mcp list

Local clone:

git clone https://github.com/mergeos-bounties/rviz-mcp.git
cd rviz-mcp
pip install -e ".[dev]"
grok plugin install . --trust

Other agents (stdio MCP)

After pip install "git+https://github.com/mergeos-bounties/rviz-mcp.git", point any MCP host at:

Claude Desktop — merge examples/claude_desktop_config.json into Claude MCP config.

Cursor — merge examples/cursor_mcp.json.

Grok config.toml (manual, without plugin):

[mcp_servers.rviz_mcp]
command = "rviz-mcp"
args = ["serve"]
env = { RVIZ_MCP_MODE = "mock" }
enabled = true

One-liner via Grok CLI:

pip install "git+https://github.com/mergeos-bounties/rviz-mcp.git"
grok mcp add rviz-mcp -- rviz-mcp serve
