Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Cloud Android phones for AI agents: read the screen, tap, type, install APKs, park and resume.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs in the cloud
  • Transport: Streamable HTTP
  • Category: Other
  • You need to fill in: Authorization

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

Values marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

You need

Which app do you use?

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

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add --transport http mobilebox https://mobilebox.dev/mcp --header 'Authorization: your-value'

Fill in the empty values before running it.

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mobilebox": {
      "url": "https://mobilebox.dev/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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": {
    "mobilebox": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mobilebox.dev/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "your-value"
      }
    }
  }
}

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.

This address needs a key in a request header, which the add-connector menu cannot set. Use Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code instead.

Your choice stays on this device in a cookie; no account needed.

Values you fill in

  • Authorization secret required HTTP header
    Bearer followed by your Mobilebox API key (from https://mobilebox.dev/dashboard)

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Tool names and descriptions exactly as the server reported them on Nov 6, 2026. The maker wrote them, not us; we show them as plain text.

  • list_phones

    List this project's phones and their status.

  • create_phone

    Create a phone, wait until it is ready and return its first screen. Give each task or end user its own phone. Phones are cloud Android by default; ask for iPhone with platform ios and a physical device with device real.

  • start_phone

    Resume a parked phone. Its apps and logins are kept.

  • park_phone

    Park a phone: shuts it down and stops billing. Apps, data and logins stay; apps start fresh after start_phone (like after a reboot). Park only a phone you will resume.

  • delete_phone

    Delete a phone and everything on it. Do this when done with a disposable phone.

  • set_device

    Set where the phone is: timezone (IANA), locale (BCP-47), GPS location, and proxy (socks5://user:pass@host:port; all traffic leaves through it, null = direct). Kept across park/start. Changing the locale restarts the UI (~15 s).

  • install_app

    Install or update an app from a public download URL: an APK (arm64-v8a or universal) or a split bundle (.apks/.xapk; the splits this phone needs are picked). Then open it with act {"type":"open_app","package":…}.

  • list_apps

    Apps the user installed on this phone.

  • uninstall_app

    Uninstall an app and delete its data.

  • observe

    Read the current screen as a numbered element list.

  • act

    Run 1–20 actions in order, stop at the first failure, return results and the new screen. Types: tap, long_press, swipe, scroll, scroll_to {text}, type, key, back, home, open_app, close_app (force-stop), wait, wait_for. Target: {"text":"OK"} | {"ref":3} | {"id":"…"} | {"desc":"…"}

  • screenshot

    PNG of the screen, for content the element list cannot show (images, maps, games).

  • watch_phone

    A link to watch the phone live, for the user: its screen with each of your actions drawn on it (cursor, taps, swipes, typed text) and a caption per step. Read-only. Offer it when the user wants to see or confirm what you do.

Common questions

Is Mobilebox safe?

It passed 2 of 3 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?

You need to fill in: Authorization

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs in the maker’s cloud. Connect over the internet with nothing to install, but what you send passes through the maker’s servers.

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.0.0) reached the registry 2 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. It connects by URL, so apps that accept remote MCP servers work too, such as ChatGPT in developer mode.

What can I use instead?
