What is Specter MCP?
Specter MCP enables AI agents (Claude, GPT, etc.) to build, test, debug, and interact with Android and iOS applications through the Model Context Protocol. Think of it as giving your AI assistant the ability to:
- Build and deploy your mobile apps
- Take screenshots and interact with UI elements
- Run unit tests and E2E tests (Maestro)
- Analyze crash logs and debug issues
- Inspect app state (preferences, databases, logs)

Usage Examples
Build & Deploy
You: Build my Android app in debug mode and install it
Claude: I'll build and deploy your app.
→ build_app(platform: "android", variant: "debug")
→ install_app(platform: "android", appPath: "...")
→ launch_app(platform: "android", appId: "com.example.app")
Debug a Crash
You: My iOS app crashed, help me debug it
Claude: Let me analyze the crash.
→ analyze_crash(platform: "ios", appId: "com.example.app")
→ inspect_logs(platform: "ios", minLevel: "error")
UI Testing
You: Take a screenshot and tap the login button
Claude: I'll capture the UI and interact with it.
→ get_ui_context(platform: "android")
→ interact_with_ui(platform: "android", action: "tap", element: "Login")
Run E2E Tests
You: Run my login flow test on both platforms
Claude: Running Maestro flows.
→ run_maestro_flow(platform: "android", flowPath: "./maestro/login.yaml")
→ run_maestro_flow(platform: "ios", flowPath: "./maestro/login.yaml")
Environment Variables
| Variable | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
SPECTER_DEBUG |
false |
Enable debug logging |
SPECTER_LOG_LEVEL |
info |
Log level (error/warn/info/debug) |
SPECTER_TIMEOUT |

"No devices found"
# Android: Start emulator
emulator -avd Pixel_6_API_34
# iOS: Boot simulator
xcrun simctl boot "iPhone 15 Pro"
"xcrun: error: unable to find utility"
xcode-select --install
Debug Mode
{
"env": {
"SPECTER_DEBUG": "true",
"SPECTER_LOG_LEVEL": "debug"
}
}
