Common questions

Is XCRS Mobile & TV Automation 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 (1.1.0) reached the registry 7 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

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

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Kanal Varna — drains, leaks & plumbing (Varna, BG)

XCRS Mobile & TV Automation

Cross-platform MCP tools for testing mobile and TV apps on Apple simulators, physical Apple devices, Android phones, and Android TV devices. XCRS combines Xcode, ControlKit, CoreDevice, and adb behind one target-aware automation workflow.

MCP Registry name: mcp-name: io.github.smbcloudXYZ/xcrs

Run the MCP server

cargo install xcrs

xcrs --mcp

Android tools use adb from ANDROID_SDK_ROOT, ANDROID_HOME, the standard Android SDK locations, or PATH. Connect a device with USB debugging enabled and authorize the host before selecting it with device_select.

For Android accessibility-tree inspection and semantic ui_tap, install the optional XCRS AndroidKit companion runner. Raw adb actions remain available without it.

The same automation profile is available from the full smbCloud CLI:

smb --mcp --scope automation

Desktop apps

A desktop target drives an application through a W3C WebDriver endpoint, for example tauri-driver for a Tauri app on Linux (it proxies WebKitWebDriver). Select it once:

{ "name": "device_select", "arguments": { "webdriver_url": "http://127.0.0.1:4444" } }

webdriver_url cannot be combined with an Apple or Android field. The desktop tools then use the stored target.

ToolDesktop behaviour
app_install_launch, app_launchStart a WebDriver session, which launches the binary at app_path (app_id for app_launch). bundle_id is ignored.
app_terminateEnd the session and close the app.
ui_describeThe page source.
ui_element_listVisible interactive elements with label, id, role and rectangle, up to 200.
ui_tapClick the one displayed element whose id, name, test id, ARIA label, title or text equals element. Zero or several matches are an error.
input_textType into the focused element.
screen_captureA PNG of the window.

The other tools return an error saying they have no desktop meaning. A running app cannot be attached to: the session is the launched app.

Source and documentation are available in the smbcloud-cli repository.
