rviz-mcp — MCP server for RViz2 displays, frames, and views (mock + live) for AI agents

About 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).

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

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

Field Value --- --- command rviz-mcp args ["serve"] env RVIZMCPMODE=mock

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

Grok config.toml (manual, without plugin):

Host Support Install --- --- --- Grok (CLI / TUI / Build) Yes grok plugin install mergeos-bounties/rviz-mcp --trust then pip install "git+https://github.com/mergeos-bounties/rviz-mcp.git" Claude Desktop Yes Copy examples/claudedesktopconfig.json into Claude MCP settings Cursor Yes Merge examples/cursormcp.json into Cursor MCP config Claude Code Yes stdio MCP: same command/args as Claude Desktop / Grok VS Code (MCP / Continue / Cline) Yes Generic stdio server config pointing at rviz-mcp serve Windsurf / Cascade Yes stdio MCP entry with rviz-mcp + serve Codex CLI Yes (stdio) Register MCP server command rviz-mcp serve in Codex MCP settings ChatGPT Desktop Partial Only if host supports custom MCP stdio servers Gemini CLI Partial Only if MCP stdio plugins are enabled

All packages speak MCP over stdio (rviz-mcp serve). Default mode is mock (offline, no simulator/terminal/GIMP required).
