Please install the `isaacsim-mcp-server` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).
Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **NVIDIA Isaac Sim 5.1.0** — Install NVIDIA Isaac Sim 5.1.0 (Linux only). (https://developer.nvidia.com/isaac-sim)
- **Python 3.10+** — Python version 3.10 or later required.
- **Install isaacsim-mcp-server** — Install MCP server package. Run: `pip install isaacsim-mcp-server`
- **Clone repo and launch Isaac Sim with extension** — Repo contains the Isaac Sim extension; launch Isaac Sim with the extension to expose the TCP socket. Run: `./scripts/run_isaac_sim.sh` (https://github.com/whats2000/isaacsim-mcp-server)
Canonical MCP server config (stdio transport):
- command: `/path/to/isaacsim-mcp-server/scripts/run_mcp_server.sh`
- args: []
- optional environment variables:
- `ISAAC_MCP_PORT`: Port for Isaac Sim MCP extension (example: `8766`)
- `BEAVER3D_MODEL`: Beaver3D model name
- `ARK_API_KEY`: Beaver3D API key (example: `<your-api-key>`)
- `NVIDIA_API_KEY`: NVIDIA API key (example: `<your-api-key>`)
Note: Linux only. Requires running Isaac Sim instance with installed extension.
Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.Note: Linux only. Requires running Isaac Sim instance with installed extension.
