SimMirror
Mirror and drive the iOS Simulator from Claude Code, CLI agents and the browser.
A real session, sped up four times. The whole recording runs 1m 39s.
A live iOS Simulator in any browser tab or web page, an animated cursor that shows exactly what your AI agent is about to tap, and token-efficient UI snapshots so agents read the screen as compact text instead of screenshots. Works with Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and any other MCP client.
Status: 1.2. The agent tools, the viewer, the protocol and the embedding API are stable, and a check holds every
1.x release to what SimMirror promises not to break. 1.2 drives simulators with SimMirror's own
helper, reads a screen from its pixels when accessibility says nothing, and lets an app share its own views.
Why SimMirror

- See the simulator anywhere. A live H.264 or JPEG stream in a Chrome tab, an iframe or a web
the spot first -- so you can follow along, and step in: an agent waits for your hand to be still.
- Watch what the agent does. Every agent gesture is announced before it lands, and the viewer's cursor glides to
in batches with waits, and reach for a screenshot only when a question is visual.
- Spend fewer tokens. Agents read accessibility snapshots with stable element refs and diffs between screens, act
share its own views, so icon-only buttons and hand-drawn controls read by name.
- Read screens accessibility cannot. A game or a canvas reads from its pixels, and an app under development can
Install
Claude Code, with the plugin (tools, a skill that teaches snapshot-first use, and /sim-mirror:open):
/plugin marketplace add AndrewKochulab/sim-mirror
/plugin install sim-mirror@sim-mirrorAny MCP client, as a stdio server:
claude mcp add sim-mirror -- uvx --from sim-mirror==1.2.0 sim-mirror mcpConfigurations for Codex, Cursor and other clients.
The command, for sim-mirror open, doctor and the rest:
uv tool install sim-mirror==1.2.0
# or
brew install andrewkochulab/tap/sim-mirrorThe viewer library, for your own pages: npm install @andrewkochulab/sim-mirror (npm). SimMirror itself is on PyPI and in a Homebrew tap.
Requirements: an Apple Silicon Mac, Xcode 26 or later, and uv or Homebrew. Nothing else: SimMirror drives a simulator with its own helper, which comes in the package. Details in Installation.
Quickstart
sim-mirror doctor # check this Mac, ending with a real tap on a simulator
sim-mirror open # this project's simulator, live in a browser tabThen ask your agent:
