Which integrations are available for this server?

Provides tools to control NVIDIA Isaac Sim and Isaac Lab through natural language, including scene inspection, prim CRUD, physics simulation, robot spawning, and code execution.

How do I use nvidia-isaac-mcp?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@nvidia-isaac-mcp Spawn a Franka robot" That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

NVIDIA Isaac MCP

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for NVIDIA Isaac Sim & Isaac Lab — enables AI tools like Windsurf, Claude Desktop, and Claude Code to control Isaac Sim through natural language.

Architecture

AI Client (Windsurf/Claude)  ←— MCP (stdio) —→  nvidia-isaac-mcp (this package)
                                                       │
                                                  TCP Socket :9876
                                                       │
                                                  isaacsim.mcp.server
                                                  (Extension inside Isaac Sim)

Two components:

Isaac Sim Extension (exts/isaacsim.mcp.server/) — runs inside Isaac Sim, listens on TCP port 9876
MCP Server (src/nvidia_isaac_mcp/) — external Python process that AI tools connect to

Prerequisites

NVIDIA Isaac Sim 5.x
Python 3.10+
uv (recommended)

Setup

1. Start Isaac Sim with the extension

cd <your-isaac-sim-install>
bash isaac-sim.sh \
    --ext-folder <path-to-nvidia-isaac-mcp>/exts \
    --enable isaacsim.mcp.server

The extension will start listening on 127.0.0.1:9876.

2. Run the MCP server

cd <path-to-nvidia-isaac-mcp>
uv run nvidia-isaac-mcp

3. Configure your AI tool

Windsurf / Claude Desktop — add to MCP settings:

{
    "mcpServers": {
        "isaac-sim": {
            "command": "uv",
            "args": ["run", "--directory", "<path-to-nvidia-isaac-mcp>", "nvidia-isaac-mcp"]
        }
    }
}
