The mobile-next/mobile-mcp MCP server lets MCP-compatible agents inspect and control iOS and Android apps on simulators, emulators, physical devices, or remote cloud devices. It exposes tools for app lifecycle management, accessibility-based element discovery, taps, gestures, text entry, screenshots, recordings, device settings, logs, and crash reports. Local devices are discovered through the machine’s installed mobile tooling, while remote devices require browser-based cloud authentication and explicit allocation. Reach for it when an agent needs to test, navigate, scrape, or automate a native mobile application without separate iOS and Android tool interfaces.
