Which app do you use?

ClaudeClaude CodeCursorVS CodeChatGPT

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mobile": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mobilenext/mobile-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add mobile -- npx -y @mobilenext/mobile-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mobile": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mobilenext/mobile-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "mobile": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",

Common questions

Is Mobile MCP safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.16) reached the registry 5 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Mobile Next - MCP server for Mobile Development and Automation | iOS, Android, Simulator, Emulator, and Real Devices

English | 日本語 | 简体中文

This is an MCP Server that enables scalable mobile automation, development through a platform-agnostic interface, eliminating the need for distinct iOS or Android knowledge. You can run it on emulators, simulators, and real devices (iOS and Android).

This server allows Agents and LLMs to interact with native iOS/Android applications and devices through structured accessibility snapshots or coordinate-based taps based on screenshots.

Works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, Antigravity — or any MCP-compatible client.

Run it against devices on your own machine, or against real iOS and Android devices in the cloud with [Mobile Next Cloud](https://mobilenext.ai/cloud?utm_source=github&utm_medium=readme&utm_campaign=mobile-mcp&utm_content=intro) — same tools, no local setup.

https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/bb084777-beb3-4930-ae6f-8d3fe694ddde

🚀 Quick start

Quick install detects the MCP clients on this machine (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, VS Code, Gemini CLI and more) and lets you pick which ones to configure:

npx @mobilenext/mobile-mcp@latest install

Add --yes to configure every detected client without asking.

Manual setup per client: Installation and configuration

Main use cases

How we help to scale mobile automation:

📲 Native app automation (iOS and Android) for testing or data-entry scenarios.
📝 Scripted flows and form interactions without manually controlling simulators/emulators or real devices (iPhone, Samsung, Google Pixel etc)
🧭 Automating multi-step user journeys driven by an LLM
👆 General-purpose mobile application interaction for agent-based frameworks
🤖 Enables agent-to-agent communication for mobile automation usecases, data extraction

Main Features

🚀 Accessibility-first — fast and cheap: drives apps from the native accessibility tree (no vision model, no image tokens), falling back to screenshots + coordinates only when needed.
📱 One API, every target: the same tools work across iOS and Android — simulators, emulators, and real devices.
🧠 No platform expertise required: no XCUITest, no Espresso, no per-platform glue — describe the goal and the agent does it.
🧰 Full device control: taps, swipes, and gestures; app install/launch/terminate; screen recording; hardware buttons; deep links; orientation.
📊 Structured, deterministic output: reads real UI elements and extracts structured data, cutting the ambiguity of screenshot-only approaches.
🪞 Device mirroring in Claude Code: for Claude Code running in Ghostty or kitty. Install the plugin and run /mobile-mirror to see the device's live screen in a side pane, then tap, type and press Home/Back without leaving the terminal.

Prerequisites

What you will need to connect MCP with your agent and mobile devices:

Xcode command line tools
Android Platform Tools
node.js v20+
MCP supported foundational models or agents, like Claude MCP, OpenAI Agent SDK, Copilot Studio

Installation and configuration

To configure it by hand, this standard config works in most of the tools:

"mcpServers": { "mobile-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@mobilenext/mobile-mcp@latest"] } } }

Amp

Add via the Amp VS Code extension settings screen or by updating your settings.json file:

"amp.mcpServers": {

"mobile-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": [ "@mobilenext/mobile-mcp@latest" ] } }

Amp CLI:

Run the following command in your terminal:

amp mcp add mobile-mcp -- npx @mobilenext/mobile-mcp@latest

Antigravity 2

Antigravity doesn't have a CLI command to add MCP servers, so add it manually. Edit ~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json and add:

"mcpServers": { "mobile-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@mobilenext/mobile-mcp@latest"] } } }

Cline

To setup Cline, just add the json above to your MCP settings file.
