Mobile MCP

Overview

Mobile MCP is a comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables scalable mobile automation and development through a platform-agnostic interface. It eliminates the need for distinct iOS or Android knowledge, allowing you to run automation on emulators, simulators, and physical devices (iOS and Android).

Features

• 🚀 Fast and Lightweight: Uses native accessibility trees for most interactions, or screenshot-based coordinates where accessibility labels are not available
• 🤖 LLM-friendly: No computer vision model required in Accessibility (Snapshot) mode
• 🧿 Visual Sense: Evaluates and analyzes what's actually rendered on screen to decide the next action
• 📊 Deterministic Tool Application: Reduces ambiguity found in purely screenshot-based approaches by relying on structured data whenever possible
• 📺 Extract Structured Data: Enables you to extract structured data from anything visible on screen

Main Use Cases

• 📲 Native App Automation: iOS and Android testing or data-entry scenarios
• 📝 Scripted Flows: Form interactions without manually controlling simulators/emulators or physical devices
• 🧭 Multi-step User Journeys: Automating complex workflows driven by an LLM
• 👆 General-purpose Mobile Interaction: Agent-based frameworks for mobile applications
• 🤖 Agent-to-Agent Communication: Mobile automation use cases and data extraction

Supported Platforms

• iOS Simulators on macOS/Linux
• Android Emulators on Linux/Windows/macOS
• Physical iOS or Android devices (requires proper platform tools and drivers)

Prerequisites

• Xcode command line tools for iOS development
• Android Platform Tools for Android development
• Node.js v22+ for running the MCP server
• MCP-supported foundational models or agents like Claude MCP, OpenAI Agent SDK, or Copilot Studio

Installation

Configuration

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

With Claude Code

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

Example Use Cases

• Video Interaction: Search for videos, comment, like, and share
• App Testing: Download apps, register, test functionality, and rate
• Content Management: Search, read, highlight, comment, and save articles
• Booking Systems: Reserve classes, set timers, and manage schedules
• Event Management: Find local events and set up calendar reminders
• Communication: Check weather and send messages via various platforms
• Meeting Coordination: Schedule Zoom meetings and share invites

Architecture

Mobile MCP provides a unified interface for mobile automation across different platforms, using accessibility trees when available and falling back to screenshot-based analysis when needed. This approach ensures reliable automation while maintaining platform independence.
