Mobai Mcp
Routes MCP commands to the MobAI desktop app's HTTP API for controlling Android and iOS devices, emulators, and simulators. The core tool is execute_dsl, which batches tap, swipe, type, wait_for, and assertion steps into a single JSON script to minimize round trips. Companion tools handle device discovery, screenshots (low quality for LLM vision, full quality to disk), app installation, and running .mob test files from disk. The server expects MobAI running locally on port 8686 and requires starting a bridge on target devices before interaction. Useful when you need AI coding assistants to script mobile UI automation workflows or debug apps across devices without writing one-off platform-specific test harnesses.

MobAI MCP Server
MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for MobAI — AI-powered mobile device automation. Lets AI assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and other MCP-compatible tools) control Android and iOS devices, emulators, and simulators via a single DSL-first interface.
How it works
All device interaction is batched through one primary tool: execute_dsl. Instead of exposing dozens of fine-grained tools (tap, swipe, type…), the server accepts a JSON script describing a sequence of actions with predicates, assertions, waits, and conditional branches. This keeps round-trips low and encodes retry/failure strategies server-side.
A small set of companion tools handles device discovery, screenshots, app management, and running .mob test files.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+
- MobAI desktop app running locally (HTTP API on
127.0.0.1:8686) - A connected Android or iOS device, emulator, or simulator
