InditexTech/mcp-server-simulator-ios-idb: A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables LLMs to interact with iOS simulators through natural language commands.

📱 MCP Server for iOS Simulator

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. Here's what it can do:

For detailed usage, see the Installation guide and Supported Commands sections. You can use this server either through direct MCP integration or as a standalone library.

Check out the Architecture section to understand how the components work together to enable natural language control of iOS simulators.

The easiest way to install this server is through Cline:

  1. Simply ask Cline:
Add this mcp to cline https://github.com/InditexTech/mcp-server-simulator-ios-idb
  1. Cline will handle the installation process automatically, including dependency management and configuration.

Alternatively, you can install it manually:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/InditexTech/mcp-server-simulator-ios-idb.git
cd mcp-server-simulator-ios-idb

# Create and activate Python virtual environment
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate  # On Unix/macOS

# Install dependencies
npm install

# Build the project
npm run build

# Start the project
npm start

# Run tests
npm test

The installation process will automatically:

  1. Check if you're running macOS
  2. Install idb-companion via Homebrew
  3. Install fb-idb via pip in the virtual environment

Note: Make sure to keep the virtual environment activated while using the server. If you close your terminal and come back later, you'll need to reactivate the virtual environment with the source venv/bin/activate command before running npm start.

To use this server with Claude or other LLM assistants:

  1. Add the server to your MCP settings in Claude Desktop:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ios-simulator": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/mcp-server-simulator-ios-idb/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}
  1. The LLM can now use natural language commands to control iOS simulators:
create a simulator session with iPhone 14
install app /path/to/my-app.ipa
launch app com.example.myapp
tap at 100, 200
take a screenshot

You can also use this package as a library in your own projects:

import { createMCPServer } from 'mcp-server-simulator-ios-idb';

async function main() {
  // Create an instance of the MCP server
  const { orchestrator } = createMCPServer();
  
  // Process natural language commands
  
  // Create a simulator session
  const sessionResult = await orchestrator.processInstruction('create session');
  console.log(`Session created: ${sessionResult.data}`);
  
  // Interact with the simulator
  await orchestrator.processInstruction('tap at 100, 200');
  
  // Capture a screenshot
  const screenshotResult = await orchestrator.processInstruction('take screenshot');
  console.log(`Screenshot saved at: ${screenshotResult.data}`);
}

main().catch(console.error);

You can also use the individual components directly:

import { 
  IDBManager, 
  NLParser, 
  MCPOrchestrator,
  ParserToOrchestrator,
  OrchestratorToIDB
} from 'mcp-server-simulator-ios-idb';

// Create instances
const idbManager = new IDBManager();
const parser = new NLParser();
const orchestrator = new MCPOrchestrator(parser, idbManager);

// Use the components directly
const sessionId = await idbManager.createSimulatorSession({
  deviceName: 'iPhone 12',
  platformVersion: '15.0'
});

await idbManager.tap(sessionId, 100, 200);

The NLParser supports the following natural language commands:

Command Description Example Create session Creates a new simulator session "create session", "create simulator iPhone 12" Terminate session Terminates the current session "terminate session", "close simulator" List simulators Lists available simulators "list simulators", "show simulators" List booted simulators Lists running simulators "list booted simulators", "show running simulators" Boot simulator Boots a simulator by UDID "boot simulator 5A321B8F-4D85-4267-9F79-2F5C91D142C2" Shutdown simulator Shuts down a simulator "shutdown simulator 5A321B8F-4D85-4267-9F79-2F5C91D142C2" Focus simulator Brings simulator window to front "focus simulator", "bring simulator to front" List simulator sessions Lists active simulator sessions "list simulator sessions", "show active sessions" Command Description Example Install app Installs an app on the simulator "install app /path/to/app.ipa" Launch app Launches an app on the simulator "launch app com.example.app" Terminate app Terminates a running app "terminate app com.example.app" Uninstall app Uninstalls an app "uninstall app com.example.app" List apps Lists installed applications "list apps", "show installed apps" Check if app installed Checks if an app is installed "is app com.example.app installed" Command Description Example Tap Taps at specific coordinates "tap at 100, 200" Swipe Performs a swipe gesture "swipe from 100, 200 to 300, 400" Press button Presses a device button "press button HOME", "press button SIRI" Input text Types text "input text Hello World" Press key Presses a key by code "press key 4" Press key sequence Presses a sequence of keys "press key sequence 4 5 6" Command Description Example Describe elements Lists all accessibility elements "describe all elements", "show accessibility elements" Describe point Describes element at coordinates "describe point 100, 200", "what's at 150, 300" Command Description Example Take screenshot Captures a screenshot "take screenshot", "capture screen" Record video Records screen activity "record video /path/output.mp4" Stop recording Stops video recording "stop recording", "stop video recording" Get logs Retrieves system or app logs "get logs", "get logs for com.example.app" Command Description Example Start debug Starts a debug session "debug app com.example.app", "start debug com.example.app" Stop debug Stops a debug session "stop debug", "terminate debug session" Debug status Gets debug session status "debug status", "show debug info" Command Description Example List crash logs Lists available crash logs "list crash logs", "show crash logs" Show crash log Shows content of a crash log "show crash log crash_2023-01-01" Delete crash logs Deletes crash logs "delete crash logs", "clear crash logs" Command Description Example Install dylib Installs a dynamic library "install dylib /path/to/library.dylib" Open URL Opens a URL in the simulator "open url https://example.com" Clear keychain Clears the simulator's keychain "clear keychain" Set location Sets the simulator's location "set location 37.7749, -122.4194" Add media Adds media to the camera roll "add media /path/to/image.jpg" Approve permissions Approves app permissions "approve permissions com.example.app photos camera" Update contacts Updates contacts database "update contacts /path/to/contacts.sqlite"

The interface supports all commands available in the idb CLI tool, providing a comprehensive set of operations for iOS simulator automation.

The server consists of three main components:

  1. IDBManager: Low-level component that interacts directly with iOS simulators through idb.
  2. NLParser: Component that interprets natural language instructions and converts them into structured commands.
  3. MCPOrchestrator: Central component that coordinates interactions between the parser and the IDBManager.

These components are connected through adapters:

To use this server with the Model Context Protocol:

  1. Add the server to your MCP settings:
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ios-simulator": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/mcp-server-simulator-ios-idb/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {}
    }
  }
}
  1. Connect to the server in your LLM application:
const result = await useMcpTool({
  serverName: "ios-simulator",
  toolName: "process-instruction",
  arguments: {
    instruction: "create simulator session"
  }
});

This project would not be possible without facebook/idb, which provides the underlying iOS simulator control capabilities. We extend our sincere gratitude to the Facebook/Meta team and all contributors to the idb project for creating and maintaining such a powerful and reliable tool.

This tool is available as open source under the terms of the Apache-2.0.
