Overview

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables LLMs to interact with iOS simulators through natural language commands. This MCP server provides a bridge between Large Language Models (LLMs) and iOS simulators, offering comprehensive control through natural language commands. It can create and manage simulator sessions, boot, shutdown, and monitor simulator states, list available and running simulators, and focus simulator windows. It also supports application management, such as installing and managing iOS applications, launching and terminating apps, monitoring app states, and handling app permissions and configurations. Additionally, it allows for UI interaction and testing, including interacting with the simulator UI, executing tap, swipe, and button press actions, inputting text and key sequences, and accessing accessibility elements for UI testing. It also provides development and debugging capabilities, such as capturing screenshots and system logs, debugging applications in real-time, and monitoring and analyzing crash logs. The server has several requirements, including macOS, Node.js version 14.0.0 or higher, Homebrew, and XCode with iOS simulators installed. To install the server, you can use Cline or manually install it by cloning the repository, creating a virtual environment, installing dependencies, building the project, and starting the server. Note that you must keep the virtual environment activated while using the server.
