# Gripper Component

This section documents the configuration attributes for each built-in gripper model. Use these pages when you are writing a JSON configuration, debugging a config validation error, or looking up the default for a specific attribute.

- For how to add and configure a gripper component on your machine, see [Gripper](https://docs.viam.com/hardware/common-components/add-a-gripper/).
- For the methods you call on a gripper in code, see the [Gripper API reference](https://docs.viam.com/reference/apis/components/gripper/).
- For gripper models outside the built-in set, search for `gripper` in the [Viam registry](https://app.viam.com/registry). Each registry module’s configuration is documented in its own README on its registry page.
