Mobile MCP

This is an MCP Server that enables scalable mobile automation, development through a platform-agnostic interface, eliminating the need for distinct iOS or Android knowledge. You can run it on emulators, simulators, and real devices (iOS and Android). It runs locally over stdio via the published package.

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

01 · Install Mobile MCP

before you install - you'll need

Set MOBILEMCP_DISABLE_TELEMETRY, MOBILEMCP_AUTH before connecting.

Claude Code

claude mcp add mobile-next-mobile-mcp -- npx -y @mobilenext/mobile-mcp

Claude Desktop / Cursor / VS Code - add to config

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mobile-next-mobile-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mobilenext/mobile-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Same JSON for Cursor. For VS Code, rename the top-level key from `mcpServers` to `servers`.

Using another client? Same JSON, different key

02 · Evidence

Security posture

What to check before giving this server access to your agent - from the registry, GitHub, and our own probes. We don't score safety; we show what's verifiable.

runs as local process (stdio) - runs on your machine with your user's permissions

license Apache-2.0 - declared in the repository

npm package @mobilenext/mobile-mcp - the @mobilenext scope differs from the repo owner (mobile-next); confirm it's the project's official package

registry namespace io.github.mobile-next is GitHub-verified and matches the repo owner
