Isaacsim MCP Server

Connect any MCP-compatible IDE (Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, Windsurf, JetBrains) to a running Isaac Sim instance and control it with plain-English prompts -- create robots, build scenes, run simulations, and debug physics all from your editor. It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

People connecting this server to Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in Python.
