Mobile Pixel MCP
A lightweight, visual-first Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for mobile device automation. Enables AI models to control and interact with mobile devices through screenshots and coordinate-based interactions.
Quick Start
Add this to your MCP client configuration (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor):
{
"mcpServers": {
"mobile-pixel": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"mobile-pixel-mcp@latest"
]
}
}
}
You can optionally pass arguments to specify a platform or device:
"args": ["-y", "mobile-pixel-mcp@latest", "--platform", "ios"]
Prerequisites
Start the server after ensuring your environment is ready:
Android
- Android Debug Bridge (ADB) installed and in PATH
- USB debugging enabled on device, or emulator running
- Device connected and authorized (
adb devicesshows your device)
iOS
- IDB (iOS Development Bridge) installed and in PATH
- Xcode and Xcode Command Line Tools (
xcrun simctlsupport) - Simulator running or physical device connected
Features
- Visual-First: Uses screenshots + coordinates (OCR/Computer Vision ready)
- Automatic OCR:
find_textandtap_texttools included - Telemetry Bridge: Read app logs via MCP
- Smart Launch: Context-aware app launching (resumes if running, cold start if not)
- Cross-platform support (Android & iOS)

Configuration
The server supports persistent configuration to avoid specifying arguments on every restart. It looks for mobile-pixel.config.json in the current working directory. The server will automatically create this file with default settings if it doesn't exist.
Dynamic Switching
You can use the configure_device tool to switch platforms (e.g., from Android to iOS) or target devices without restarting the MCP server. This updates the mobile-pixel.config.json file automatically.
Manual Configuration (mobile-pixel.config.json)
{
"platform": "android",
"deviceId": "emulator-5554",
"appId": "com.example.app",
"mainActivity": ".MainActivity"
}
