MCP server that lets AI agents and LLMs automate native iOS and Android apps on simulators, emulators, and real devices.
Why you might care
Drives apps through the native accessibility tree rather than screenshots, which is faster and cheaper than vision-only approaches. The same tools work across iOS and Android, so you don't need XCUITest or Espresso expertise. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and other MCP clients, and can also target real devices in the Mobile Next Cloud.

README excerpt
# Mobile Next - MCP server for Mobile Development and Automation | iOS, Android, Simulator, Emulator, and Real Devices **English** | 日本語 | 简体中文 This is an 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 real 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. **Works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, Antigravity** — or any MCP-compatible client. Run it against devices on your own machine, or against real iOS and Android devices in the cloud with **Mobile Next Cloud** — same tools, no local setup. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/bb084777-beb3-4930-ae6f-8d3fe694ddde ### 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 real 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 - 🚀 **Accessibility-first — fast and cheap**: drives apps from the native accessibility tree (no vision model, no image tokens), falling back to screenshots + coordinates only when needed. - 📱 **One API, every target**: the same tools work across iOS and Android — simulators, emulators, and real devices. - 🧠 **No platform expertise required**: no XCUITest, no Espresso, no per-platform glue — describe the goal and the agent does it. - 🧰 **Full device control**: taps, swipes, and gestures; app install/launch/terminate; screen recording; hardware buttons; deep links; orientation. - 📊 **Structured, deterministic output**: reads real UI elements and extracts structured data, cutting the ambiguity of screenshot-only approaches. - 🪞 **Device mirroring in Claude Code**: for Claude Code running in Ghostty or kitty. Install the plugin and run `/mobile-mirror` to see the device's live screen in a side pane, then tap, type and press Home/Back without leaving the terminal. ### 🎯 Platform Support | Target | Supported | Setup | |---|:---:|---| | iOS Simulator | ✅ | Xcode + a booted simulator (`xcrun simctl`) | | iOS Real Device | ✅ | Device connected over USB and trusted | | Android Emulator | ✅ | Android SDK + running emulator (`adb`) | | Android Real Device | ✅ | `adb` + USB debugging enabled & authorized | ## 🔧 Available MCP Tools ### Device Management - **`mobile_list_available_devices`** - List all available devices (simulators, emulators, and real devices) - **`mobile_get_screen_size`** - Get the screen size of the mobile device in pixels -
