This server provides powerful integration for mobile automation, supporting multiple platforms and clients. Its accessibility-first approach is efficient and avoids vision model costs. However, it is a community-driven project and users assume risk. Documentation is thorough and community active. Suitable for development teams looking to unify mobile automation.
This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables scalable mobile automation and development through a platform-agnostic interface, eliminating the need for distinct iOS or Android knowledge. It runs on simulators, emulators, and real devices (iOS and Android). The server allows agents and LLMs to interact with native iOS/Android apps and devices through structured accessibility snapshots or coordinate-based taps based on screenshots. It uses stdio transport by default and supports SSE mode via the --listen flag.
Run the server with npx, supporting stdio and SSE modes. SSE mode uses --listen flag with optional port and host binding. Bearer token authorization can be configured via MOBILEMCP_AUTH environment variable. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf, and more. See client-specific docs for details.
