You have a self-contained MCP server that provides Roba Labs robotics information offline. It exposes a set of tools you can query to explore platform info, robotics frameworks, robot types, and learning resources, without needing external APIs. This makes it ideal for AI assistants or local workflows where connectivity is limited or data privacy matters.

How to use

You interact with the Roba Labs MCP Server through a compatible MCP client. Start by configuring your client to connect to the server and then use the available tools to retrieve information. You can ask for a complete platform overview, browse robotics frameworks, explore robot types, and fetch curated learning resources. All data is local and ready for quick responses, so you can rely on fast, offline access to Roba Labs information.

How to install

Prerequisites you need on your machine before installing: Node.js >= 18.0.0 and npm >= 9.0.0.

Step by step install and run flow:

Clone the MCP server repository.
Install dependencies.
Start the MCP server in standard HTTP mode when the HTTP endpoint is available.
If you need the MCP stdio server for Claude Desktop, run the provided stdio command configuration.

Concrete commands shown in practice (examples):

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/Tairon-ai/roba-labs-mcp.git
cd roba-labs-mcp

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Start the HTTP server (if available in your setup)
npm start

# Development mode (optional)
npm run dev

# MCP stdio server for Claude Desktop (example configuration shown below)
npm run mcp

Additional notes

Claude Desktop integration can be configured to run the MCP server locally via a stdio command. The following JSON snippet demonstrates how to wire the local MCP server into Claude Desktop using a direct node invocation to the server script.
