What it exposes

A small command surface for visual feedback.

The server does not install or change your app. It connects to the device you already booted and keeps the screenshot in the local feedback loop.

device_capture

Return the current display as PNG image content.

device_tap

Tap normalized coordinates from 0 to 1.

device_swipe

Move through a screen with one platform-neutral gesture.

device_type

Type into the focused control on either platform.

device_status

Show which simulator or emulator is available.

Start from your terminal

Install once. Inspect whenever.

The binary stays local. Your existing iOS and Android SDKs do the device work.

# install the release binary
cargo install --git https://github.com/
  lucaswilliameufrasio/device-simulator-mcp

# configure your MCP host

Built for local visual feedback

The device is yours. The screenshot stays yours.
