What it is

MCP server: Exposes a set of iOS automation tools (list/select device, screenshot, tap, swipe, type, etc.) over MCP transports (HTTP, SSE or stdio) using fastmcp.
Python module: Import to manage and control iOS simulators programmatically.

IDB-MCP

Key features

Device management 🔧: list devices, select by UDID or name, boot/shutdown, kill IDB.
Input control 👆: tap, swipe, type text, tap keys, tap buttons.
Screen utilities 🖼️: capture screenshots, query screen size, get view description.
Image/coord scaling 📐: optional scaling to a target viewport for consistent coordinates.

Limitations

⚠️ Only iOS simulators are supported for UI control. Due to iOS security constraints, idb cannot interact with or automate the UI on real, physical devices. AskUI offers a solution for real-device UI automation—contact [email protected] for more information.

Requirements

Runs on macOS only.
Python >= 3.10
Xcode with iOS Simulators installed and configured.
- Verify simulators are visible:
```
xcrun xctrace list devices
```

Facebook IDB companion (using brew):

brew tap facebook/fb
brew install idb-companion

Install

pip install idb-mcp

Quick start (CLI)

Why MCP?

Using MCP lets your favorite AI tools connect to idb-mcp seamlessly. The client handles launching and communicating with the server, so you can ask for screenshots, taps, swipes, and more—without leaving your workflow. ✨

Start MCP server

The package installs an idb-mcp command.

# Start MCP server over HTTP (default host/port managed by fastmcp)
idb-mcp start http
