Target Reference Server
Manzanas Overview
The manzanas MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP-capable agents lease and drive iOS simulators through accessibility labels rather than screen coordinates. It exposes UI inspection, tapping, typing, waiting, and scrolling tools over stdio, while a Mac daemon manages simulator leases, queues, warm instances, and action state. Reach for it when multiple agents need isolated simulator access or when automated runs must produce evidence of whether each UI action changed the interface.
Primary Use Cases for Manzanas:
- Drive iOS simulator test flows by accessibility label
- Share simulator capacity across multiple agents
- Generate journaled Markdown evidence for UI runs
- Run declarative YAML workflows against mock or real simulators
