ros2_mcp AGENTS.md

ros2_mcp AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Codex, OpenCode from wise-vision/ros2_mcp. It costs 665 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MPL-2.0.

A set of project instructions for a Python MCP server that connects coding agents to ROS 2, a robotics software platform. It explains the code layout, setup, local startup, configuration, and tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Setting up the development environment, running the server over standard input or SSE, changing prompt settings, and running pytest tests for the ROS 2 server.
Why use it?
It gives the agent the project rules and commands it needs to work consistently. It also reduces guesswork about ROS 2 setup and where different parts of the server belong.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ros2_mcp AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Agent instructions

This repo is a Python MCP server for ROS 2 (Humble/Jazzy). The packaged entrypoint is mcp_ros_2_server (see pyproject.toml).

Project layout

  • server/ — MCP server (server.py), tool handlers (tools_ros2.py), ROS 2 logic (ros2_manager.py), prompts (prompts_ros2.py), transports (transport.py).
  • tests/pytest tests (often mocking ROS 2 nodes).
  • Dockerfile — container build for running the server with ROS 2.
  • server.json — MCP server manifest (runtime + env var knobs).

Dev setup (preferred)

Use uv (deps are pinned in uv.lock):

  • uv venv
  • uv sync --dev

Avoid editing uv.lock manually.

Running locally

The server requires a sourced ROS 2 environment before start (so rclpy works).

  • Stdio (default): uv run mcp_ros_2_server
  • SSE: uv run mcp_ros_2_server --transport sse (binds 127.0.0.1:8123)

Custom prompts can be toggled via pyproject.toml [tool.mcp_ros_2], env vars (MCP_CUSTOM_PROMPTS, MCP_PROMPTS_LOCAL, MCP_PROMPTS_PATH, MCP_PROMPTS_MODULE) or CLI flags (--custom-prompts, --prompts-local, --prompts-path, --prompts-module) — see server/server.py.

Tests

Tests require ROS 2 Python libs (rclpy) and some message/interface packages (see CI in .github/workflows/server_tests.yml). Typical run inside a ROS 2 environment:

  • source /opt/ros/<distro>/setup.sh
  • export PYTHONPATH=.:/opt/ros/<distro>/lib/python3.*/site-packages
  • uv run pytest

Adding a tool

  • Implement a ToolHandler (usually in server/tools_ros2.py) and return TextContent/ImageContent outputs.
  • Register it in server/server.py via add_tool_handler(...).
  • Add/adjust pytest coverage under tests/.

Adding a prompt

  • Implement a BasePromptHandler (template-based) in server/prompts_ros2.py.
  • Register it in server/server.py via add_prompt_handler(...).
  • For custom prompt authoring, also see docs/CREATE_PROMPT.md.

Docker

Build:

  • docker build -t ros2_mcp:jazzy --build-arg ROS_DISTRO=jazzy .

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
