Mobile MCP
Drives real iOS simulators and Android devices: tap, type, scroll, and read the accessibility tree rather than pixel coordinates.
What it does
Drives real iOS simulators and Android devices: tap, type, scroll, and read the accessibility tree rather than pixel coordinates. The practical way to run a mobile flow end to end without a vision model in the loop. Needs a simulator or device already running, and the install step sets up platform tooling.
Install
npx -y @mobilenext/mobile-mcp@latest
Client configuration
Paste this into your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any client that reads mcpServers), then restart the client.
{
"mcpServers": {
"mobile-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@mobilenext/mobile-mcp@latest"
]
}
}
}
When to use it
Reach for this when the task needs mobile inside the agent loop. Skip it if a plain shell command or a one-off script is enough — every server you add costs context and adds a failure mode.
Other TypeScript servers
- Filesystem — Gives an agent scoped read, write, and search access to directories you explicitly allow
- Memory — A persistent knowledge graph stored in a local JSON file, exposed through entities, relations, and observations
- Sequential Thinking — Gives the model a scratchpad for structured, revisable reasoning: numbered thoughts that can branch, revise, and conclude
