README

Isaac Sim MCP Server

Natural language control for NVIDIA Isaac Sim through the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Connect any MCP-compatible IDE (Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, Windsurf, JetBrains) to a running Isaac Sim instance and control it with plain-English prompts -- create robots, build scenes, run simulations, and debug physics all from your editor.

Highlights

42 tools across 9 categories -- scene, objects, lighting, robots, sensors, materials, assets, simulation, graphs
107+ robots auto-discovered from the Isaac Sim asset library (Franka, UR, Unitree, Boston Dynamics, and more)
Step-and-observe debugging -- step the simulation and inspect prim positions, joint states, and physics in one call
Hot-reload -- iterate on Python controllers without restarting Isaac Sim
Multi-instance -- run multiple Isaac Sim sessions side by side on different ports
Built for Isaac Sim 5.1.0 with a modular adapter layer for version isolation

Installation

Option A: pip install (recommended)

pip install isaacsim-mcp-server

This installs the MCP server and the isaacsim-mcp-server CLI. You still need the Isaac Sim extension from the repo (see Launching Isaac Sim below).

Option B: From source

git clone https://github.com/whats2000/isaacsim-mcp-server
cd isaacsim-mcp-server
./scripts/setup_python_env.sh

Requirements

Requirement	Version
NVIDIA Isaac Sim	`5.1.0`
Python	`3.10+`
`uv`	latest (for source install)
Platform	Linux (Ubuntu 22.04+)

[!IMPORTANT] Currently only Linux is supported. Windows support is planned. macOS is not supported because NVIDIA Isaac Sim does not run on macOS.

[!NOTE] We are welcoming contributions to support other Isaac Sim versions. The adapter layer is designed for easy version isolation.

Quick Start

1. Set up the environment

If you installed from source:

./scripts/setup_python_env.sh

2. Launch Isaac Sim with the extension

./scripts/run_isaac_sim.sh

You should see in the logs:

Registered 41 command handlers
Isaac Sim MCP server started on localhost:8766

Optional: Beaver3D / NVIDIA API keys for 3D generation

export BEAVER3D_MODEL="<your beaver3d model name>"
export ARK_API_KEY="<your beaver3d api key>"
export NVIDIA_API_KEY="<your nvidia api key>"

3. Connect your IDE

Add the MCP server to your editor. Replace the path with your actual repo location.

Claude Code (CLI)

claude mcp add isaac-sim /path/to/isaacsim-mcp-server/scripts/run_mcp_server.sh

Or edit ~/.claude.json / .mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "isaac-sim": {
      "command": "/path/to/isaacsim-mcp-server/scripts/run_mcp_server.sh"
    }
  }
}

VS Code

Create .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:

{
  "servers": {
    "isaac-sim": {
      "command": "/path/to/isaacsim
