How to Set Up and Use Bagel
Bagel is a Docker-based MCP server that connects AI agents to physical robotics and drone data sources using natural language, eliminating the need for deep domain expertise to troubleshoot robots, drones, or flight controllers. It supports ROS2 (Kilted, Jazzy, Iron, Humble), ROS1 (Noetic), and flight-log formats from PX4, ArduPilot, and Betaflight by spinning up the appropriate pre-configured Docker container and exposing an SSE MCP endpoint. The agent can query metadata, generate DuckDB SQL queries against Apache Arrow data files, and run extensible POML-based analysis capabilities. This makes it a practical tool for robotics engineers and drone pilots who want to debug systems or analyze telemetry data conversationally.
Prerequisites
- Docker Desktop installed and running
- Git to clone the repository
- An MCP-compatible AI client such as Claude Code that supports SSE transport
- Physical or simulated robot/drone data files (ROS2 bags, PX4 logs, ArduPilot logs, Betaflight blackbox files)
Clone the Bagel repository
Clone the repository to your local machine. All configuration and Docker Compose files are included.
git clone https://github.com/Extelligence-ai/bagel.git && cd bagelStart the appropriate Docker service
Choose the Docker service that matches your robotics platform. Available services include ros2-kilted, ros2-jazzy, ros2-iron, ros2-humble, ros1-noetic, px4, ardupilot, and betaflight.
docker compose run --service-ports ros2-kiltedConnect Claude Code via SSE transport
In a separate terminal, add Bagel as an MCP server to Claude Code using the SSE transport pointing at the running container's endpoint.
claude mcp add --transport sse bagel http://0.0.0.0:8000/sseMount your data files (optional)
To analyze your own robot or drone data files, edit compose.yaml and uncomment the volumes section, then map your local data directory into the container.
Start an AI session and begin querying
Launch Claude Code and start asking questions about your data in plain language. No SQL or ROS expertise required.

Example natural language queries for debugging robots and analyzing drone or ROS data.
- "Summarize the metadata of the ROS2 bag at ./data/sample/ros2/mcap"
- "What topics are published in this ROS2 bag and at what frequency?"
- "Run the POML capability './src/agent/examples/woof.poml' on my drone log"
- "Show me any error messages or anomalies in the PX4 flight log"
- "What was the maximum altitude reached in this ArduPilot log?"Troubleshooting Bagel
Docker container starts but the SSE endpoint is not reachable
Ensure you used the --service-ports flag with docker compose run (not just docker compose up). Without this flag, ports are not published to the host. Verify with 'curl http://0.0.0.0:8000/sse'.
Agent cannot read my local data files
Edit compose.yaml and uncomment the volumes section to mount your local data directory into the container. For example, add '- /local/path/to/data:/app/data' under the volumes key for your service.
Wrong ROS version or flight controller format selected
Stop the current container and restart with the correct service name: ros2-kilted, ros2-jazzy, ros2-iron, ros2-humble, ros1-noetic, ros1-noetic-cv, px4, ardupilot, or betaflight.
