You expose a single tool backed by NVIDIA USDCode via the NVIDIA Integrate API, enabling you to query USDCode for help and snippets directly from your MCP client. This server is lightweight, runs with Node.js, and is designed for scripting tips, USD usage, Python snippets, and API exploration in environments like Isaac Sim.

How to use

You run this MCP server as a local stdio service and connect to it from an MCP-capable client. The server exposes the get_usdcode_help tool, which sends your prompt to NVIDIA USDCode and returns the model’s reply as plain text. You can integrate it with Claude Desktop or OpenAI Codex MCP clients by registering the local command and ensuring your NVIDIA API key is available in the environment.

How to install

Prerequisites: install Node.js 18+ on your machine. You also need an NVIDIA API key to access USDCode.

Step 1: install dependencies

npm ci
# or: npm install

Step 2: build the project

npm run build

Step 3: run the server

npm start
# or run directly
node --enable-source-maps dist/server.js
