Overview
What is Robot Control Service?
Robot Control Service is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that controls a robot arm equipped with a servo motor. When the servo moves, it plays a “Hasta la vista, baby!” audio clip. It is intended for developers building MCP‑based robotic control applications.
How to use Robot Control Service?
Install with npm install, connect an Arduino‑compatible board via USB and a servo to pin 10, then run node index.js. The server exposes a single MCP tool called moveMyServo that accepts a degrees parameter (0–180) to set the servo position.
Key features of Robot Control Service
- Controls a servo motor on pin 10 via MCP.
- Plays an audio clip on each servo movement.
- Built with Node.js, johnny‑five, and webaudio‑node.
- Validates input parameters with Zod.
Use cases of Robot Control Service
- Demonstrating MCP integration with physical hardware.
- Teaching servomotor control through a standardized protocol.
- Building interactive robotic demos that include audio feedback.
FAQ from Robot Control Service
What hardware does Robot Control Service require?
An Arduino or compatible board connected via USB, a servo motor attached to pin 10, and a speaker for audio output.
What software dependencies are needed?
Node.js, the MCP SDK, johnny‑five (robotics framework), webaudio‑node (Web Audio in Node.js), and Zod for validation.
How do I control the servo?
Call the MCP tool moveMyServo with a degrees parameter between 0 and 180.
