Medkit

Every node behind one REST diagnostic API

Triaging a ROS 2 robot still means SSH, ros2 topic echo, and a folder of one-off scripts - and none of it survives the next robot.

A REST diagnostic API for your ROS 2 graph: discover nodes, read live data, trigger operations, manage configuration and faults. Apache 2.0, with a web UI and an MCP adapter.

Free, Apache 2.0 - shipped in the official ROS 2 distribution for Jazzy and Humble

Medkit web UI · faults across the line
Medkit web UI - one faults dashboard across a packaging line, an autonomous robot, and a tank farm, each fault shown by code, severity, and description

What changes for you

One REST view of every node - faults, live data, operations, configuration - instead of SSH sessions and scattered scripts.
New robot types onboard in days: the gateway discovers your graph, no per-robot glue code.
Free and open source - evaluate on your real stack without procurement.
