📱 MCP Server for iOS Simulator - Overview

Title

MCP Server for iOS Simulator – A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables Large Language Models (LLMs) to interact with iOS simulators using natural language commands.

How to Use

Installation

• Via Cline (Recommended):

  Add this mcp to cline https://github.com/InditexTech/mcp-server-simulator-ios-idb  
  

• Manual Installation:

  git clone https://github.com/InditexTech/mcp-server-simulator-ios-idb.git  
  cd mcp-server-simulator-ios-idb  
  npm install  
  npm run build  
  npm start  

MCP Integration

Configure the server in your LLM (e.g., Claude Desktop) to enable natural language control:

{  
  "mcpServers": {  
    "ios-simulator": {  
      "command": "node",  
      "args": ["/path/to/mcp-server-simulator-ios-idb/dist/index.js"],  
      "env": {}  
    }  
  }  
}  

Library Usage

Import and use in your own projects:

import { createMCPServer } from 'mcp-server-simulator-ios-idb';  
const { orchestrator } = createMCPServer();  
await orchestrator.processInstruction('tap at 100, 200');
