MCP Appium is an Appium-organization-maintained MCP server that exposes Appium mobile automation as tools for AI assistants, covering Android and iOS across simulators, emulators, and real devices, with element finding, gestures, session management, test code generation, a plugin API, and OpenTelemetry tracing. It targets teams already using Appium for mobile testing, installs primarily over stdio via npx, and uses environment variables for capability gating. Important boundaries: it is designed as a local single-user server or a trusted CI component rather than a shared service for untrusted clients, and remote server URLs, vision model calls, and disconnect cleanup behavior all require explicit configuration.
MCP Appium is a Model Context Protocol server that gives AI assistants a suite of tools for mobile automation on Android (UiAutomator2) and iOS (XCUITest), covering simulators, emulators, and real devices. It supports natural-language element finding, intelligent locator generation, interactive session management, touch gestures, and automated generation of Java/TestNG test code with Page Object Model templates. It runs over stdio via npx appium-mcp@latest, bundles the UiAutomator2 and XCUITest drivers for embedded local sessions, and can also connect to a remote Appium/WebDriver server through remoteServerUrl. The project is maintained by the Appium organization under the Apache-2.0 license.
