lego-robot-mcp: Claude drives a four-motor LEGO robot through a Raspberry Pi

lego-robot-mcp has Claude Code drive a LEGO robot with two wheels, a gripper and an arm on a Raspberry Pi 4 with a Build HAT. Claude sees through a Pi Camera on the robot and an overhead iPhone, and a Gemini Robotics-ER model checks frames after each move. The README has no photos or video of the robot.

Briefing

The MCP server runs its scripts on the Pi over SSH. The Build HAT needs its own 8 V supply, because the motors do not run on USB power. The overhead iPhone runs SimpleIPCamera at 720p and 30 fps and has to stay in the foreground, since iOS stops the camera when the app is backgrounded or the phone locks. Navigation runs on the overhead view.

With scene-text reading on, new words in either camera pause the robot until Claude Code has seen them; Claude then decides whether to ask a separate PDDL planner, NAPC, to replan. With it off, the server erases sign text from the front camera's frames. The repo's .mcp.json holds absolute paths from the author's machine.
