Real Environment Developed by Stanford University
If you already use Gibson, the gibson mcp server is the piece that lets your assistant work with it directly. Real Environment Developed by Stanford University.
You shouldn't play video games all day, so shouldn't your AI! We built a virtual environment simulator, Gibson, that offers real-world experience for learning perception.
The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:
Paper — The Paper tool exposed by this serverInstallation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at gibson on PyPI and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Configuration is passed through the environment: DISPLAY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Among the developer tooling options, the useful question is rarely "what can it do" but "what does it cost you to run" — permissions, credentials, and how much of your context its toolset consumes. Gibson's toolset — Paper — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by Michele Antonazzi; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.
