RoboPartPicker MCP server

Remote Model Context Protocol server for RoboPartPicker — a catalog of source-linked robotics projects, bills of materials and components.

• Endpoint: https://robopartpicker.com/mcp (Streamable HTTP, no auth for public reads)

• Registry name: com.robopartpicker/robopartpicker

• Discovery: https://robopartpicker.com/.well-known/mcp.json

• Server card: https://robopartpicker.com/.well-known/mcp/server-card.json

• OpenAPI: https://robopartpicker.com/openapi.json

This repository holds the registry manifest and client configuration for the hosted server. The server itself runs on Cloudflare Workers at robopartpicker.com.

A healthy response reports serverInfo.name = RoboPartPicker and a tools capability.

Example

Ask an agent: "Find an open 6-axis robot arm project with a bill of materials, and tell me which BOM lines are still unresolved." A search_projects call with q=rover returns entries such as:

{
  "slug": "nasa-jpl-open-source-rover",
  "name": "NASA JPL Open Source Rover",
  "license": "Apache-2.0"
}

What the data is, honestly

• BOM lines are derived from explicit BOM files, documentation, CAD metadata and URDF/robot-description files in each upstream repository. Every line keeps its evidence state — verified, probable, unresolved, unpriced — instead of being silently dropped.

• Prices are observed catalog data, not quotes. Supplier coverage is partial and prices drift.

• Upstream projects keep their own licenses. This server reads and links; it does not relicense anyone's design.

• Software projects, commercial models without manufacturer BOMs, and physical projects without an explicit BOM report distinct honest states rather than guessed parts.
