Summary

Platform-agnostic MCP server that drives iOS and Android apps on simulators, emulators and real devices through the accessibility tree rather than screenshots.

Features

  • Drives apps from the native accessibility tree — no vision model, no image tokens
  • Same tools across iOS and Android, on simulators, emulators and real devices
  • Taps, swipes, gestures, hardware buttons, deep links and orientation control
  • App install, launch and terminate, plus screen recording
  • Structured, deterministic UI output for reliable data extraction
  • No XCUITest or Espresso knowledge required

Installation

Set up this MCP server in your favorite AI agent — copy a ready-made configuration below.

Any MCP-compatible agent

Most agents (Claude, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and more) read a standard mcpServers configuration.

  1. Open your agent's MCP configuration file.
  2. Merge the snippet below into it.
  3. Restart the agent — the "Mobile MCP" tools will be available.

Description

Mobile MCP (from Mobile Next) lets an agent operate a real mobile app the way a person would — list devices, launch the app, tap, swipe, type, read the screen — without you writing XCUITest or Espresso, and without the agent needing to know which platform it is on.

Accessibility-first, not vision-first

Its defining choice is to read the native accessibility tree instead of screenshotting the device and asking a vision model what it sees. That makes runs faster and much cheaper (no image tokens), and the output is structured and deterministic: real UI elements with real identifiers, not a model's guess about a picture. Screenshots with coordinate taps remain available as a fallback for views the accessibility tree does not describe.

One API, every target

The same tools work across iOS simulators (Xcode + xcrun simctl), iOS real devices (go-ios + WebDriverAgent + tunnel), Android emulators (Android SDK + adb) and Android real devices (adb with USB debugging). Device management covers listing devices, screen size and reading or setting orientation; app management covers listing, launching and terminating apps; interaction covers taps, swipes, gestures, hardware buttons, deep links and screen recording.

What it is for

Native app test automation and data entry, scripted flows and form filling without babysitting a simulator, multi-step user journeys driven by an LLM, and general agent-based mobile interaction or data extraction. It works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, Antigravity and any other MCP-compatible client.
