What it is
Mobile MCP server for Mobile Development and Automation across iOS, Android, simulators, emulators, and real devices. It enables Agents and LLMs to interact with native apps via structured UI data or coordinate-based taps from screenshots.
How it works
The project exposes MCP-compatible tools to automate and interact with mobile devices. Features include device management, app management, screen interaction, and input/navigation, with outputs focused on structured data from UI elements and actions.
Getting started
Installation and configuration
{
"mcpServers": {
"mobile-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@mobilenext/mobile-mcp@latest"]
}
}
}
Amp/Cline/Claude/Codex/Copilot/Cursor integration examples are provided in the README, each showing how to register the MCP server with various tools. See README for full command blocks.
SSE server mode example:
npx @mobilenext/mobile-mcp@latest --listen 3000
Authorization (Bearer) example:
MOBILEMCP_AUTH=my-secret-token npx @mobilenext/mobile-mcp@latest --listen 3000
Verify it works by listing devices after configuration (example prompt: "list available devices").
