chauffeur
Let your coding agent drive the iOS Simulator, and tell it the truth about what happened.
Coding agents can write your iOS app, but they can't tell whether it works. Point one at the Simulator and it will tap a disabled button, then report "Done, I submitted the form." Nothing happened, and the agent has no way of knowing.
chauffeur fixes that. It hands the agent the screen as an outline it can reason about, taps through the simulator's own input system, and verifies every action against what actually changed. A tap that did nothing comes back as NO EFFECT. A tap an alert swallowed comes back as INTERCEPTED. A crash comes back as APP CRASHED, with the line that caused it. Your agent stops guessing and starts knowing.
Benchmark
Xcode 27 ships its own MCP server for driving the Simulator, so I put the two head to head. I ran 15 tasks, 3 times each, with Claude Code on Sonnet and on Opus, giving the agent either chauffeur's tools or Xcode's (xcrun mcpbridge) and nothing else. That's 180 runs.
Sonnet
Opus
With Opus, chauffeur verified every task. On both models it took less than half the turns, at a sixth to a seventh of the cost. Xcode couldn't answer any of the crash or log tasks; chauffeur answered all of them. I scored strictly, even against chauffeur, and every run is written up in docs/benchmark.md.
The same task, both ways, in real time. chauffeur is on top.
Quick start
Requirements: Apple silicon and Xcode 26 or 27. Boot a simulator, then run:
brew install yashnaj/chauffeur/chauffeur
claude mcp add chauffeur -- chauffeur mcp # or: chauffeur skill install
chauffeur doctorThen ask your agent: open my app and check the login screen.
For Codex or Cursor, run chauffeur skill install --agents codex,cursor in your project. It writes the skill and an AGENTS.md section that teach the agent the commands.
What your agent gets
The same commands are available on the command line and as MCP tools:
usage: chauffeur <command> [--udid <udid>]Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
