AutoMobile¶

AutoMobile is an MCP server that lets AI agents control your Android & iOS devices using natural language. It uses standard platform tools like adb & simctl paired with its own additional Kotlin & Swift libraries and apps. All components are open source. The point is to provide mobile engineers with AI workflow tools to perform UX deep dives, reproduce bugs, and run automated tests.

Install¶

One-line install

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kaeawc/auto-mobile/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

Run this in your app repository for project configuration, or elsewhere for global configuration. Restart your MCP client when it finishes.

Install Demo

macOS x86_64 · DMG Linux x86_64 · DEB Windows x86_64 · MSI

Homebrew (CLI)

brew tap kaeawc/tap
brew install kaeawc/tap/auto-mobile

Installs the auto-mobile command-line tool and keeps it current through brew upgrade. On recent Homebrew, run brew trust kaeawc/tap first if the tap is reported untrusted. See the Homebrew guide for upgrade, uninstall, and details.

Manual MCP configuration

{
  "command": "bunx",
  "args": ["@kaeawc/auto-mobile@latest"]
}

Place this server in the client’s documented MCP configuration, then restart the client. Going this route means you’re going to handle dependencies like having bun and ffmpeg.

First use¶

Open your configured agent and ask it to explore your mobile app. If you have a connected physical device it’ll recognize it, otherwise it’ll look for emulators / simulators to use or provision.

Some common workflows:

Uninstall¶
