Mobile Device MCP
Gives Claude direct control over iOS and Android devices through a three-layer architecture: on-device HTTP servers (UIAutomator/XCUITest), a unified UI tree normalizer, and the MCP interface. You get screenshot capture, UI tree inspection with filtering, tap/scroll/type interactions, and app lifecycle management across multiple devices simultaneously. The run_code tool lets agents execute sandboxed JavaScript that mirrors native UIAutomator and XCUITest APIs for more complex workflows. Reach for this when you need Claude to test mobile apps, automate device interactions, or debug UI issues across real devices and simulators. Requires adb for Android and Xcode tooling for iOS, with automatic driver installation and port allocation on first use.

Mobile Device MCP
An MCP server that lets AI agents control iOS and Android devices (tap, scroll, type, take screenshots, read UI trees, and run code). Works with multiple devices at the same time.
How It Works
Three-layer architecture:
- On-device servers — Lightweight HTTP servers running on each mobile device (UIAutomator on Android, XCUITest on iOS) that expose the accessibility tree and accept interaction commands.
- UI tree filter — Normalizes raw UI trees from both platforms into a unified flat element list.
- MCP server — The external interface. Handles device discovery, bootstrapping, port allocation, and proxies requests to on-device servers.
Devices are bootstrapped on first use — the server installs the driver app, allocates a port, starts the on-device server, and polls until it's healthy. After that, all tool calls are proxied over localhost HTTP with per-device bearer token auth.
