Mobile Device MCP server

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

• analyze_screen

  Uses AI vision to analyze the current screen of a mobile device. Returns a structured analysis including app name, screen type, interactive elements with coordinates, visible text, and suggested next actions. This is the primary tool for understanding what is currently displayed on the device.

• double_tap

  Perform a double tap at the given (x, y) screen coordinates. Useful for zooming into maps/images or selecting text.

• extract_text

• fill_form

  Fill multiple form fields in a single operation. Provide a map of field descriptions to values. Each field is found by natural language description, cleared, and filled with the specified value. More efficient than calling smart_type multiple times.

• find_element

  Uses AI vision to find a specific UI element by natural language description. Returns the element's coordinates, type, and confidence score. Use this when you need to locate a specific button, field, or other UI element. Example queries: 'the login button', 'email input field', 'the red error message'.

• flutter_connect

  Discover and connect to a running Flutter app on the device via the Dart VM Service Protocol.

• get_recorded_actions

  View the actions recorded so far without stopping the recording.

• get_screen_size

  Get the screen resolution of a connected Android device. Returns the width and height in pixels.

• get_ui_elements

  Retrieve the current UI element tree from the device screen. Each element includes its index, text, content description, class name, resource ID, bounding box with center coordinates (useful for tap targets), and boolean states (clickable, scrollable, focusable, enabled, selected, checked). By default only interactive elements are returned. Set interactive_only to false to get all elements. This i

• handle_popup

  Detects and handles system dialogs and popups (permission requests, update prompts, system alerts). Can automatically dismiss or accept the dialog. Use 'dismiss' to decline/skip, 'accept' to allow/confirm, or 'auto' to handle it automatically.

• install_app

  Install an Android application from an APK file on the host machine. Provide the full path to the .apk file. The APK will be pushed to the device and installed.

• ios_list_simulators

  List all available iOS simulators with their status (Booted/Shutdown),

• ios_screenshot

  Take a screenshot of a running iOS simulator. Returns the image as base64.

• ios_shutdown_simulator

  Shutdown a running iOS simulator by its UDID.

• launch_app

  Launch an installed application by its package name (e.g. 'com.android.chrome'). The app will be started with its default/main activity. Use list_apps to discover available package names.

• list_apps

  List all installed applications on the device. By default only user-installed (non-system) apps are returned. Set include_system to true to also include system apps. Each entry contains the package name, display name, version, and whether it is a system app.

• list_devices

  List all connected Android devices and emulators. Returns an array of DeviceInfo objects including id, model, manufacturer, Android version, connection status, and whether the device is an emulator.

• long_press

  Perform a long press (touch and hold) at the given (x, y) screen coordinates. Commonly used to open context menus, start drag operations, or trigger secondary actions.

• press_key

  Press a hardware or system key on the device. Accepts friendly key names such as 'home', 'back', 'enter', 'volume_up', 'volume_down', 'power', 'tab', 'delete', 'menu', 'search', 'app_switch', 'dpad_up', 'dpad_down', 'dpad_left', 'dpad_right', 'camera', 'escape', 'space', 'media_play_pause', 'media_next', 'media_previous'. You may also pass a raw Android keycode number as a string (e.g. '3' for HOM

• record_screen

  Start recording the device screen as MP4 video. Android has a 3-minute

• smart_tap

  Finds a UI element by natural language description and taps it. Combines element finding and tapping into a single action. Example: smart_tap('the Sign In button') will locate the button and tap its center coordinates. Returns whether the tap succeeded and which element was tapped.

• smart_type

  Finds an input field by natural language description, taps it to focus, and types the specified text. Example: smart_type('email field', 'user@example.com') will find the email input, tap it, and type the email address.

• start_test_recording

  Start recording all MCP tool calls to generate a reproducible test script.

• stop_app

  Force-stop a running application by its package name. This immediately terminates the app process. Useful for resetting app state or freeing resources.

• stop_recording

  Stop an active screen recording and save the MP4 video.

• stop_test_recording

  Stop recording and generate a test script from the recorded actions.

• suggest_actions

  Uses AI to analyze the current screen and suggest a sequence of actions to achieve a specified goal. Returns step-by-step instructions with exact coordinates for each action. Example goals: 'log into the app', 'navigate to settings', 'add an item to cart'.

• swipe

  Perform a swipe gesture from (start_x, start_y) to (end_x, end_y). Use this to scroll through lists, dismiss notifications, navigate between pages, or pull down the notification shade. A shorter duration makes the swipe faster (flick), while a longer duration makes it slower (drag).

• take_screenshot

  Capture a screenshot of the device screen. Returns the image with metadata (width, height, file size). Supports PNG (lossless, larger) and JPEG (compressed, smaller). Use format='jpeg' with quality and max_width to reduce image size for AI analysis.

• tap

  Perform a single tap at the given (x, y) screen coordinates. Use get_ui_elements first to find the centerX/centerY of the element you want to tap.

• type_text

  Type text into the currently focused input field on the device. Make sure an input field is focused first (tap on it). Special characters and Unicode are supported.

• uninstall_app

  Uninstall an application from the device by its package name. This removes the app and all its data. System apps cannot be uninstalled without root access.

• verify_screen

  Uses AI to verify whether a specific assertion about the current screen is true. Returns a boolean result with confidence score and evidence. Example assertions: 'the login was successful', 'an error message is displayed', 'the cart has 3 items'.

• visual_diff

  Compares the current screen with a previous screenshot to identify what changed. Provide a base64 PNG screenshot as the 'before' image — the tool captures the current screen as the 'after' image. Returns a list of changes with descriptions and regions. Useful for verifying that an action had the expected effect.

• wait_for_element

  Waits for a specific UI element to appear on screen by polling the UI tree. More reliable and faster than wait_for_settle — returns as soon as the target element is found. Use after navigation to wait for a specific button, text, or field to appear. Example: wait_for_element('Find Routes') after selecting a station.

• wait_for_settle

  Waits for the screen to stop changing after a navigation or action. Polls the UI tree until two consecutive snapshots are identical, indicating animations and loading have completed. Use this after tapping navigation buttons or triggering screen transitions to ensure the new screen is ready for interaction.
