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 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.

Standard config works in most of the tools:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mobile-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@mobilenext/mobile-mcp@latest"]
}
}
}
Add via the Amp VS Code extension settings screen or by updating your settings.json file:
"amp.mcpServers": {
"mobile-mcp": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"@mobilenext/mobile-mcp@latest"
]
}
}
Amp CLI:
Run the following command in your terminal:
amp mcp add mobile-mcp -- npx @mobilenext/mobile-mcp@latest
To setup Cline, just add the json above to your MCP settings file.
</details> <details> <summary>Claude Code</summary>Use the Claude Code CLI to add the Mobile MCP server:
claude mcp add mobile-mcp -- npx -y @mobilenext/mobile-mcp@latest
Follow the MCP install guide, use json configuration above.
</details> <details> <summary>Codex</summary>Use the Codex CLI to add the Mobile MCP server:
codex mcp add mobile-mcp npx "@mobilenext/mobile-mcp@latest"
Alternatively, create or edit the configuration file ~/.codex/config.toml and add:
[mcp_servers.mobile-mcp]
command = "npx"
args = ["@mobilenext/mobile-mcp@latest"]
For more information, see the Codex MCP documentation.
</details> <details> <summary>Copilot</summary>Use the Copilot CLI to interactively add the Mobile MCP server:
/mcp add
You can edit the configuration file ~/.copilot/mcp-config.json and add:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mobile-mcp": {
"type": "local",
"command": "npx",
"tools": [
"*"
],
"args": [
"@mobilenext/mobile-mcp@latest"
]
}
}
}
For more information, see the Copilot CLI documentation.
</details> <details> <summary>Cursor</summary><img src="https://cursor.com/deeplink/mcp-install-dark.svg" alt="Install in Cursor">
Go to Cursor Settings -> MCP -> Add new MCP Server. Name to your liking, use command type with the command npx -y @mobilenext/mobile-mcp@latest. You can also verify config or add command like arguments via clicking Edit.
Use the Gemini CLI to add the Mobile MCP server:
gemini mcp add mobile-mcp npx -y @mobilenext/mobile-mcp@latest

✓ Do
✗ Don't
💡 Pro Tips
Architecture
Model Context Protocol standardizes how AI hosts (Claude, Cursor) communicate with external tools and data sources through server implementations.
Protocols
Compatibility
✓ Use when
Use when you need Claude to access external data, execute actions, or integrate with tools. Best for extending AI capabilities beyond conversation.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid when native integrations exist (use official APIs directly), for real-time critical systems, or when security/compliance requires zero external dependencies.
