Mobster
MCP server and CLI that lets Claude Code, Cursor and Codex drive a real iPhone or iOS simulator — read the screen, tap, type, and get pass/fail verdicts from accessibility assertions.
Mobster connects your coding agent to the app you are building. Run saved checks, inspect failures and keep the verdict tied to the accessibility tree. The shared runtime powers the command line and Mobster for Mac; this repository owns the CLI, MCP server, simulator tools and verification engine.
On macOS, with Python 3.12 or later:
python3.12 -m pip install mobster-cli
Running a device requires macOS and Xcode. The Python package runs independently of Mobster for Mac. With uv installed, npx @radishsoftware/mobster mcp runs the same CLI through the npm launcher. Tests use synthetic fixtures.
