write = sends, deletes, buys or posts

Read from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.

  • execute_dslwrite action

    Execute a batch of automation steps using the DSL (Domain Specific Language). This is the PREFERRED method for complex automation as it's more reliable than sequential API calls. DSL supports: observe, tap, type, toggle, swipe, scroll, open_app, navigate, wait_for, assert_*, if_exists, delay, execute_js (web) Example DSL script: { "version": "0.2", "steps": [ {"action": "observe", "context": "nati

  • get_device

    Get information about a specific device

  • get_ocr

    Perform OCR text recognition on the current screen (iOS only). Returns detected text with screen coordinates for tapping (already adjusted for tapping).

  • get_screenshot

    Capture a screenshot from the device. Returns the file path to the saved PNG.

  • get_ui_tree

    Get the UI accessibility tree showing all visible elements with indices for tapping

  • go_home

    Navigate to device home screen

  • http_request

    Make a raw HTTP request to the MobAI API. Use this for advanced operations not covered by other tools. Base URL: http://127.0.0.1:8686/api/v1 Common endpoints: - GET /devices - List devices - GET /devices/{id}/screenshot - Take screenshot - GET /devices/{id}/ui-tree - Get UI tree - POST /devices/{id}/dsl/execute - Execute DSL script - POST /devices/{id}/agent/run - Run AI agent

  • launch_app

    Launch an application by bundle ID

  • list_apps

    List installed applications on the device

  • list_devices

    List all connected Android and iOS devices, emulators, and simulators

  • run_agentwrite action

    Run an AI agent to perform a task autonomously. The agent will observe the screen, make decisions, and execute actions to complete the task.

  • start_bridge

    Start the on-device bridge (accessibility service on Android, WebDriverAgent on iOS). Required before automation.

  • stop_bridge

    Stop the on-device bridge

  • swipe

    Perform a swipe gesture

  • tap

    Tap an element by index (from UI tree) or coordinates

  • type_text

    Type text on the device (tap input field first to focus)

  • web_click

    Click an element in the web page using CSS selector

  • web_execute_jswrite action

    Execute JavaScript in the web page context

  • web_get_dom

    Get the DOM tree of the current web page

  • web_list_pages

    List available web pages (browser tabs and WebViews) for web automation

  • web_navigate

    Navigate to a URL in the browser

  • web_type

    Type text into a web element using CSS selector

Install Mobai in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y mobai-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

claude mcp add mobai-mcp -- npx -y mobai-mcp
Add to Cursor

MobAI MCP Server

MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for MobAI — AI-powered mobile device automation. Lets AI assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and other MCP-compatible tools) control Android and iOS devices, emulators, and simulators via a single DSL-first interface.

How it works

All device interaction is batched through one primary tool: executedsl**. Instead of exposing dozens of fine-grained tools (tap, swipe, type…), the server accepts a JSON script describing a sequence of actions with predicates, assertions, waits, and conditional branches. This keeps round-trips low and encodes retry/failure strategies server-side.

A small set of companion tools handles device discovery, screenshots, app management, and running .mob test files.

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+
  • MobAI desktop app running locally (HTTP API on 127.0.0.1:8686)
  • A connected Android or iOS device, emulator, or simulator

Installation

Claude Code

claude mcp add mobai -- npx -y mobai-mcp

Cursor

Add to .cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mobai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mobai-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add to ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claudedesktopconfig.json (macOS):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mobai": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "mobai-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf / Cline / other MCP clients

The server speaks stdio — use your client's generic MCP configuration:

{
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "mobai-mcp"]
}

Test management

Tests are .mob files on disk inside project directories. You read, write, and edit them directly using your assistant's filesystem tools — MobAI watches for changes and updates the UI live. MCP is only needed to discover projects and run tests.

Resources

Read these before attempting any device interaction — they describe the DSL schema, action set, predicates, failure strategies, and .mob syntax.
