mobster mcp is a local MCP server. Add it to your coding agent and the agent gets tools to read an iPhone’s screen, tap, type and swipe, on a simulator Mobster manages. Each page below has the exact setup for one client.

$ mobster mcp install --all

Any other MCP client

Mobster speaks MCP over stdio, so any client that starts a local server can use it: the command is mobster and its one argument is mcp. Most clients take a block like this one. Use the full path from which mobster when the client is an app that doesn’t read your shell’s PATH.

The MCP reference

{  "mcpServers": {    "mobster": { "command": "mobster", "args": ["mcp"] }  }}

MCP config file location by client
