| 42 | +## 🔧 New MCP Tools |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | +### `list_menagerie_models` |
| 45 | +Lists all available Menagerie models, optionally filtered by category. |
| 46 | +```json |
| 47 | +{ |
| 48 | + "categories": 6, |
| 49 | + "total_models": 39, |
| 50 | + "models": { |
| 51 | + "arms": {"count": 11, "models": ["franka_emika_panda", ...]}, |
| 52 | + "quadrupeds": {"count": 8, "models": ["unitree_go1", ...]} |
| 53 | + } |
| 54 | +} |
| 55 | +``` |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +### `validate_menagerie_model` |
| 58 | +Validates a specific Menagerie model and returns detailed information. |
| 59 | +```bash |
| 60 | +# Example usage |
| 61 | +validate_menagerie_model({"model_name": "franka_emika_panda"}) |
| 62 | +# Returns: "✅ Valid - franka_emika_panda (Bodies: 12, Joints: 9, XML Size: 4567 chars)" |
| 63 | +``` |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +### `create_menagerie_scene` |
| 66 | +Creates a physics simulation scene from any Menagerie model. |
| 67 | +```bash |
| 68 | +# Example usage |
| 69 | +create_menagerie_scene({ |
| 70 | + "model_name": "unitree_go1", |
| 71 | + "scene_name": "quadruped_demo" |
| 72 | +}) |
| 73 | +# Returns: "✅ Created Menagerie scene 'quadruped_demo' with model 'unitree_go1' successfully!" |
| 74 | +``` |
| 75 | + |
| 76 | +### Enhanced `create_scene` |
| 77 | +The original create_scene tool now accepts a `menagerie_model` parameter. |
| 78 | +```bash |
| 79 | +# Use built-in scenes |
| 80 | +create_scene({"scene_type": "pendulum"}) |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +# Or use Menagerie models |
| 83 | +create_scene({ |
| 84 | + "scene_type": "pendulum", |
| 85 | + "menagerie_model": "franka_emika_panda" |
| 86 | +}) |
| 87 | +``` |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +## 🏗️ Technical Implementation |

| 102 | + |
| 103 | +## 🚀 Usage Examples |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +### List All Models |
| 106 | +```python |
| 107 | +# Get all models |
| 108 | +tools = await handle_call_tool("list_menagerie_models", {}) |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +# Get models by category |
| 111 | +tools = await handle_call_tool("list_menagerie_models", {"category": "arms"}) |
| 112 | +``` |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +### Validate and Load Models |
| 115 | +```python |
| 116 | +# Validate a model |
| 117 | +result = await handle_call_tool("validate_menagerie_model", { |
| 118 | + "model_name": "franka_emika_panda" |
| 119 | +}) |
| 120 | + |
| 121 | +# Create scene from model |
| 122 | +scene = await handle_call_tool("create_menagerie_scene", { |
| 123 | + "model_name": "franka_emika_panda", |
| 124 | + "scene_name": "robot_arm_demo" |
| 125 | +}) |
| 126 | +``` |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +### Work with Any Robot |
| 129 | +```python |
| 130 | +# Arms: Industrial manipulator |
| 131 | +create_menagerie_scene({"model_name": "universal_robots_ur5e"}) |
| 132 | + |
| 133 | +# Quadrupeds: Legged robot |
| 134 | +create_menagerie_scene({"model_name": "unitree_go1"}) |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +# Humanoids: Bipedal robot |
| 137 | +create_menagerie_scene({"model_name": "unitree_h1"}) |
