Robonine Server

A local MCP server that connects Claude Code (or any MCP-compatible AI assistant) to a Robonine robot arm. The server runs on your machine and relays tool calls to the Robonine web app open in your browser — no robot data passes through any remote server.

How it works

Claude Code ←stdio→ MCP server ←ws://127.0.0.1:60808→ Browser tab → BT/USB → Robot

The MCP server starts a WebSocket server on 127.0.0.1:60808. The Robonine web app connects to it automatically when the MCP Bridge plugin is installed and active. Once connected, Claude Code can read robot state and send motion commands.

Installation

From GitHub

Claude Code fetches and runs the server automatically — no manual steps needed:

claude mcp add robonine -- npx -y github:roboninecom/robonine-mcp

Or add to your MCP host config:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "robonine": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "github:roboninecom/robonine-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Local (from this repo)

Build once, then point Claude Code at the compiled file:

cd mcp && npm install && npm run build
claude mcp add robonine -- node /path/to/student-lab/mcp/dist/index.js

Setup in the browser

1. Open lab.robonine.com (or your local dev instance).
2. Install the MCP Bridge plugin from the plugin marketplace.
3. Connect your robot arm.
4. The browser tab connects to the local MCP server automatically — the MCP Bridge plugin page shows the relay status.

Configuration

If you change the port, set the same value in the MCP Bridge plugin settings.
