iPhone MCP Server

# iPhone MCP Server A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for automating iPhone tasks with Appium. Supports app control, UI interactions, and screenshot capture via streamable HTTP.  We recommend [Cherry Studio](https://github.com/CherryHQ/cherry-studio) as an MCP client for iPhone automation. ## Features - Retrieve device info and list installed apps - Capture screenshots (JPEG, around 500KB) - List UI elements and perform touch operations - Launch or switch apps using bundle IDs - Optimized XML output to minimize token usage ## Installation ### Prerequisites - Python 3.8 or later - Node.js and npm - iPhone with UDID - Xcode ### Steps 1. Clone the repo: `git clone https://github.com/Lakr233/iphone-mcp.git && cd iphone-mcp` 2. Set up virtual environment: `python -m venv .venv && source .venv/bin/activate` 3. Install dependencies: `pip install -r requirements.txt` 4. Install Appium: `npm install -g appium && appium driver install xcuitest` 5. Set up WebDriver Agent: Follow the [WebDriver Agent Guide](https://appium.github.io/appium-xcuitest-driver/latest/guides/run-prebuilt-wda/) 6. Configure: Edit `start.sh` with your `DEVICE_UDID` ## Usage Run `./start.sh` to start Appium and the MCP server. Access it at `http://127.0.0.1:8765/mcp` with default settings. ## Tools - `iphone_device_info`: Get device details - `iphone_device_apps`: List installed apps - `iphone_interface_snapshot`: Capture screenshot and XML - `iphone_interface_elements`: List UI elements - `iphone_operate_click`: Perform tap - `iphone_operate_swipe`: Perform swipe - `iphone_operate_text_input`: Input text - `iphone_operate_app_launch`: Launch app - `iphone_operate_get_current_bundle_id`: Get current bundle ID ## Configuration Set environment variables in `start.sh` (defaults in `src/utils.py`): - `DEVICE_UDID` (required) - `APPIUM_HOST/PORT` - `SERVER_HOST/PORT/PATH` - `LOG_LEVEL` ## Development - Run tests: `pytest` - Code style: Python 3.8+ with type hints ## Contributing Fork the repo, create a branch, and submit a pull request.
