Podium MCP

One baton. Every instrument. A single MCP stdio endpoint with 51 tools for iOS (simulator + real) and Android device control, native UI automation, end-to-end flows, trustworthy assertions, React Native debugging, WebView DOM + network inspection, and a no-vision canvas/WebGL brain for Pixi/Konva/Fabric/Phaser/Three/Babylon (validated live in WebKit) - plus an experimental engine bridge for instrumented Unity/GL…

People who work with devtools, e2e testing and ios simulator and want it reachable from Claude, Cursor, VS Code, or another MCP client. The project is written in TypeScript.
