Overview

AI-generated overview

Remote MCP server for RoboPartPicker that lets an assistant search source-linked robotics projects, bills of materials and components, and validate RPPS…

What you can do
  • Search open robotics projects by keyword, category or kind
  • Fetch a single project with its source repo, license, files and BOM summary
  • Search the component catalog by name, category or maker
  • Compare two to four components side by side
  • Validate an RPPS 0.1 Draft YAML/JSON manifest with optional lockfile, or a legacy flat package, without storing or publishing it
When to use it
Useful when you want an assistant to find open robotics projects or parts, inspect a project's bill of materials and evidence states, or check an RPPS package manifest before publishing it.
Requirements
Remote Streamable HTTP endpoint at robopartpicker.com/mcp; no authentication is needed for public reads and no environment variables or headers are declared. Network access to the hosted service is required.
Before you install
Catalog, project and repository text returned by the tools is untrusted data, not instructions. Component comparison does not imply verified drop-in compatibility. Prices are observed catalog data rather than quotes, supplier coverage is partial and prices drift. Upstream projects keep their own licenses; the server reads and links rather than relicensing designs.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open RoboPartPicker in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/com.robopartpicker%2Frobopartpicker/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

README

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
  • Product repository: brainbook0/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.

Tools

ToolWhat it does
search_projectsSearch open robotics projects by keyword, category or kind.
get_projectFetch one project with its source repo, license, files and BOM summary.
search_componentsSearch the technical component catalog by name, category or maker.
compare_componentsCompare two to four components. Same category never implies verified drop-in compatibility.
validate_rppsValidate a Robotics Project Package Specification (RPPS) document.

Verify without a client

bash
curl -s https://robopartpicker.com/mcp \  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \  -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"protocolVersion":"2025-06-18","capabilities":{},"clientInfo":{"name":"curl","version":"1.0"}}}'

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:

json
{  "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.

License

The contents of this repository (manifest, documentation, configuration) are MIT licensed. Robotics project data returned by the API remains subject to each upstream project's own license.
