MCP 服务器

Mobile Next MCP

A Model Context Protocol server that enables scalable mobile automation for iOS and Android through a platform-agnostic interface, allowing LLMs to interact with mobile applications via accessibility snapshots or screenshot-based inputs.

Tools

mobile_use_default_device

Use the default device. This is a shortcut for mobile_use_device with deviceType=simulator and device=simulator_name

mobile_list_available_devices

List all available devices. This includes both physical devices and simulators. If there is more than one device returned, you need to let the user select one of them.

mobile_use_device

Select a device to use. This can be a simulator or an Android device. Use the list_available_devices tool to get a list of available devices.

mobile_click_on_screen_at_coordinates

Click on the screen at given x,y coordinates. If clicking on an element, use the list_elements_on_screen tool to find the coordinates.

mobile_list_elements_on_screen

List elements on screen and their coordinates, with display text or accessibility label. Do not cache this result.

mobile_set_orientation

Change the screen orientation of the device

mobile_list_apps

List all the installed apps on the device

mobile_launch_app

Launch an app on mobile device. Use this to open a specific app. You can find the package name of the app by calling list_apps_on_device.

mobile_terminate_app

Stop and terminate an app on mobile device

mobile_get_screen_size

Get the screen size of the mobile device in pixels

mobile_press_button

Press a button on device

mobile_open_url

Open a URL in browser on device

swipe_on_screen

Swipe on the screen

mobile_type_keys

Type text into the focused element

mobile_save_screenshot

Save a screenshot of the mobile device to a file

mobile_take_screenshot

Take a screenshot of the mobile device. Use this to understand what's on screen, if you need to press an element that is available through view hierarchy then you must list elements on screen instead. Do not cache this result.

mobile_get_orientation

Get the current screen orientation of the device

Mobile Next - MCP server for Mobile Development and Automation | iOS, Android, Simulator, Emulator, and physical devices

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.

🚀 Mobile MCP Roadmap: Building the Future of Mobile

Join us on our journey as we continuously enhance Mobile MCP! Check out our detailed roadmap to see upcoming features, improvements, and milestones. Your feedback is invaluable in shaping the future of mobile automation.

👉 Explore the Roadmap

Main use cases

How we help to scale mobile automation:

📲 Native app automation (iOS and Android) for testing or data-entry scenarios.
📝 Scripted flows and form interactions without manually controlling simulators/emulators or physical devices (iPhone, Samsung, Google Pixel etc)
🧭 Automating multi-step user journeys driven by an LLM
👆 General-purpose mobile application interaction for agent-based frameworks
🤖 Enables agent-to-agent communication for mobile automation usecases, data extraction

Main Features

🚀 Fast and lightweight: Uses native accessibility trees for most interactions, or screenshot based coordinates where a11y labels are not available.
🤖 LLM-friendly: No computer vision model required in Accessibility (Snapshot).
🧿 Visual Sense: Evaluates and analyses what’s actually rendered on screen to decide the next action. If accessibility data or view-hierarchy coordinates are unavailable, it falls back to screenshot-based analysis.
📊 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 structred data from anything visible on screen.

More details in our wiki page for setup, configuration and debugging related questions.

Installation and configuration

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 Code:

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

🛠️ How to Use 📝

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.

✨ Example Prompts

Workflows

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.

Find the video called " Beginner Recipe for Tonkotsu Ramen" by Way of
Ramen, click on like video, after liking write a comment " this was
delicious, will make it next Friday", share the video with the first
contact in your whatsapp list.

Download a successful step counter app, register, setup workout and 5-star the app

Find and Download a free "Pomodoro" app that has more than 1k stars.
Launch the app, register with my email, after registration find how to
start a pomodoro timer. When the pomodoro timer started, go back to the
app store and rate the app 5 stars, and leave a comment how useful the
app is.

Search in Substack, read, highlight, comment and save an article

Open Substack website, search for "Latest trends in AI automation 2025",
open the first article, highlight the section titled "Emerging AI trends",
and save article to reading list for later review, comment a random
paragraph summary.

Reserve a workout class, set timer

Open ClassPass, search for yoga classes tomorrow morning within 2 miles,
book the highest-rated class at 7 AM, confirm reservation,
setup a timer for the booked slot in the phone

Find a local event, setup calendar event

Open Eventbrite, search for AI startup meetup events happening this
weekend in "Austin, TX", select the most popular one, register and RSVP
yes to the event, setup a calendar event as a reminder.

Check weather forecast and send a Whatsapp/Telegram/Slack message

Open Weather app, check tomorrow's weather forecast for "Berlin", and
send the summary via Whatsapp/Telegram/Slack to contact "Lauren Trown",
thumbs up their response.

Schedule a meeting in Zoom and share invite via email

Open Zoom app, schedule a meeting titled "AI Hackathon" for tomorrow at
10AM with a duration of 1 hour, copy the invitation link, and send it via
Gmail to contacts "team@example.com".

More prompt examples can be found here.

Prerequisites

What you will need to connect MCP with your agent and mobile devices:

Xcode command line tools
Android Platform Tools
node.js v22+
MCP supported foundational models or agents, like Claude MCP, OpenAI Agent SDK, Copilot Studio

Simulators, Emulators, and Physical Devices

When launched, Mobile MCP can connect to:

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

Make sure you have your mobile platform SDKs (Xcode, Android SDK) installed and configured properly before running Mobile Next Mobile MCP.

Running in "headless" mode on Simulators/Emulators

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:

Start an emulator (avdmanager / emulator command).
Run Mobile MCP with the desired flags

On iOS, you'll need Xcode and to run the Simulator before using Mobile MCP with that simulator instance.

xcrun simctl list
xcrun simctl boot "iPhone 16"
