Server Summary
Automate mobile application testing
Interact with native iOS/Android apps
Use structured accessibility data
Execute coordinate-based actions
Enhance data-entry workflows
This is a Model Context Protocol (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 physical 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.

How we help to scale mobile automation:
More details in our wiki page for setup, configuration and debugging related questions.
Setup our MCP with Cline, Cursor, Claude, VS Code, Github Copilot:
{
"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. More in our wiki
claude mcp add mobile -- npx -y @mobilenext/mobile-mcp@latest
After adding the MCP server to your IDE/Client, you can instruct your AI assistant to use the available tools. For example, in Cursor's agent mode, you could use the prompts below to quickly validate, test and iterate on UI intereactions, read information from screen, go through complex workflows. Be descriptive, straight to the point.
You can specifiy detailed workflows in a single prompt, verify business logic, setup automations. You can go crazy:
Search for a video, comment, like and share it.

What you will need to connect MCP with your agent and mobile devices:
When launched, Mobile MCP can connect to:
Make sure you have your mobile platform SDKs (Xcode, Android SDK) installed and configured properly before running Mobile Next Mobile MCP.
When you do not have a physical phone connected to your machine, you can run Mobile MCP with an emulator or simulator in the background.
For example, on Android:
On iOS, you'll need Xcode and to run the Simulator before using Mobile MCP with that simulator instance.
