A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that lets AI assistants interact with iOS simulators. It exposes tools for booting simulators, taking screenshots, tapping, typing, and inspecting UI accessibility elements.
Use cases
- let Claude or Cursor drive an iOS simulator to test my app
- automate UI interactions in the iOS simulator via MCP
- have an AI agent tap and type in a running iOS simulator
- inspect accessibility elements of an iOS simulator screen
- screenshot the iOS simulator and iterate on code with an LLM
- control iOS simulators from an AI coding assistant
When to choose
- you use an MCP-compatible client like Claude Desktop, Claude Code, or Cursor and develop iOS or React Native apps
- you want AI-driven UI automation and inspection of iOS simulators on macOS
When to avoid
- you need to automate physical iOS devices rather than simulators
- you are on Linux or Windows, since the iOS Simulator only runs on macOS
- you need a general-purpose mobile test framework like Appium or XCUITest rather than an MCP server
