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

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add mobile-device -- npx -y @srmorete/mobile-device-mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mobile-device": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@srmorete/mobile-device-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-device": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [

  }
}

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 one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

Common questions

Is Mobile Device 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 (0.1.10) reached the registry 3 months 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 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.

Tools

Tool	Description
`list_devices`	List available iOS and Android devices
`screenshot`	Capture the device screen (JPEG)
`uitree`	Get the UI element tree as a flat list, with optional search and limit. Off-screen elements are excluded unless `include_invisible: true`
`tap`	Tap at screen coordinates
`double_tap`	Double-tap at screen coordinates
`long_press`	Long-press at screen coordinates (configurable duration)
`scroll`	Swipe from start to end coordinates
`type_text`	Type text into the focused element
`press_button`	Press a hardware/navigation button (home, back, enter, volumeUp/Down, dpadUp/Down/Left/Right/Center)
`launch_app`	Launch an app by bundle ID / package name
`terminate_app`	Force-stop an app
`list_apps`	List installed apps
`install_app`	Install an app from a host-local file (`.apk` for Android, `.app` for iOS simulator, `.app`/`.ipa` for iOS device). Replaces existing installs
`run_code`	Execute sandboxed JavaScript on-device (see run_code below)

run_code

Agents can pass code _that looks like_ UIAutomator or XCUITest, both being Javascript under the hood. The sandbox restricts (Android) potentially dangerous Java operations and only allows (iOS) some XCUITest-ish commands

Android: Rhino engine with UIAutomator bindings — uiDevice (click, swipe, find elements, press keys, read display info), By (selectors), Until (wait conditions), console.log()
iOS: JavaScriptCore with XCUITest bindings — app (query elements, tap, type, swipe), springboard, device, openApp(bundleId), sleep(ms), console.log()

Both platforms automatically kill runaway scripts (infinite loops) and create a fresh sandbox per call.

Prerequisites

Node.js 18+ (for running via npx)
Android: Android SDK with adb on PATH
iOS Simulator: Xcode with xcrun, simctl
iOS Real Device: Xcode with xcodebuild, devicectl, and iproxy (from libimobiledevice)
Building from source: Bun runtime, Gradle (Android), Xcode (iOS)

Installation

Claude Code

claude mcp add mobile-device-mcp -- npx -y @srmorete/mobile-device-mcp@latest

Or with custom ports:

claude mcp add mobile-device-mcp -e MDMS_PORT_ANDROID=20000 -e MDMS_PORT_IOS=21000 -- npx -y @srmorete/mobile-device-mcp@latest

Modifying `.mcp.json` (Cursor, Claude Desktop, etc)

"mcpServers": { "mobile-device-mcp": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@srmorete/mobile-device-mcp@latest"], "env": { "MDMS_PORT_ANDROID": "18000", # optional "MDMS_PORT_IOS": "19000" # optional } } } }

Building from Source

git clone <repo-url>

cd mobile-device-mcp bun install

Build drivers for both platforms and pack tarball

./scripts/build.sh

The build script compiles the on-device drivers (Android APKs via Gradle, iOS test bundle via xcodebuild), copies them to drivers/, and creates an npm tarball.

To run locally during development:

bun run start           # Start the MCP server

bun test # Run the test suite

Configuration

Environment Variable	Default	Description
`MDMS_PORT_ANDROID`	18000	Base port for Android on-device servers
`MDMS_PORT_IOS`	19000	Base port for iOS on-device servers

Ports are assigned sequentially — first Android device gets 18000, second gets 18001, and so on. Same for iOS starting at 19000.

Acknowledgements

Mobile Device MCP server stands on the shoulders of giants such as mobile-mcp and Maestro. Used as inspiration but reframed the current approach to be multi-device and with seamless Native/WebView support (especially on Android).
