Mobile Device MCP

Get the package name and activity name of the app that is currently in the foreground on the device. Useful for determining what the user is currently looking at.

Get detailed information about a specific Android device, including model, manufacturer, Android version, SDK version, connection status, screen size, and whether it is an emulator.

Retrieve recent Android logcat entries from the device. You can filter by minimum log level (V=Verbose, D=Debug, I=Info, W=Warning, E=Error, F=Fatal) and/or by tag name. Returns structured JSON with timestamp, PID, TID, level, tag, and message for each entry.

View the actions recorded so far without stopping the recording. Useful for inspecting what has been captured.

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

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 is the primary tool for understanding what is on screen and deciding where to tap.

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 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.

Boot an iOS simulator by its UDID. Get the UDID from ios_list_simulators.

List all available iOS simulators with their status (Booted/Shutdown), UDID, name, and iOS version. Works on macOS only.

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

Shutdown a running iOS simulator by its UDID.

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 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 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.

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 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 HOME).

Start recording the device screen as MP4 video. Android has a 3-minute maximum per recording. Only one recording per device at a time. Call stop_recording to finish and save the video.

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.

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 recording all MCP tool calls to generate a reproducible test script. All subsequent tool calls will be logged until stop_test_recording is called.

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

Stop an active screen recording and save the MP4 video. Optionally pull the recording file from the device to the host machine.

Stop recording and generate a test script from the recorded actions. Supports TypeScript, Python, and JSON output formats.

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'.

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).

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.

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 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 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.

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'.

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.

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.

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.
