KentraBOT MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for controlling a two-track robot. This server exposes tools to control motor speeds and direction, allowing LLMs to drive the robot.

Features

• Movement Control: Independent control of left and right tracks.

• High-Level Commands: drive tool for easy direction control (forward, backward, left, right).

• Safety: Emergency stop tool.

• Hardware Abstraction: Built with a modular driver system. Currently configured with a Dummy driver for simulation/testing.

Installation

Prerequisites

• Python 3.11 or higher

• uv (recommended) or pip

Setup

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url> cd kentraBOT-MCP

2. Install dependencies: Using uv:

   uv sync

   Or using standard pip:

   python3 -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate pip install .

Usage

Running the Server

Start the MCP server using uv:

Or directly with python:

connecting to an MCP Client

Configure your MCP client (e.g., Claude Desktop, MCP Inspector) to run the server command above.

Hardware Configuration

Currently, the server is set to use the DummyRobot driver which logs actions to the console.

To use real hardware (e.g., Raspberry Pi with Motor Hat):

1. Implement a new driver in src/kentrabot_mcp/drivers/.

2. Inherit from kentrabot_mcp.robot.Robot.

3. Update src/kentrabot_mcp/server.py to initialize your new driver.
