Integrations

  • Provides capabilities for testing and automating Android applications, including device management, app installation, and UI interaction through the Appium framework.

  • Enables mobile app automation through Appium, supporting element interactions, app management, device controls, and advanced features like context switching and custom gestures.

  • Supports automation of iOS applications on devices and simulators, including element interactions and app management through the Appium framework.

MCP Appium Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation for mobile app automation using Appium.

Prerequisites

  1. Node.js (v14 or higher)
  2. Java Development Kit (JDK)
  3. Android SDK (for Android testing)
  4. Xcode (for iOS testing, macOS only)
  5. Appium Server
  6. Android device or emulator / iOS device or simulator

Setup

  1. Install dependencies:
npm install
  1. Install and start Appium server:
npm install -g appium appium
  1. Set up Android device/emulator:
    • Enable Developer Options on your Android device
    • Enable USB Debugging
    • Connect device via USB or start an emulator
    • Verify device is connected using adb devices

Running Tests

  1. Build the project:
npm run build
  1. Start the MCP server:
npm run dev
  1. In a new terminal, run the test:
npm test

Test Configuration

The example test uses the Android Settings app as a demo. To test your own app:

  1. Edit examples/appium-test.ts:
    • Update deviceName to match your device
    • Set app path to your APK file, or
    • Update appPackage and appActivity for an installed app
  2. Common capabilities configuration:
const capabilities: AppiumCapabilities = { platformName: 'Android', deviceName: 'YOUR_DEVICE_NAME', automationName: 'UiAutomator2', // For installing and testing an APK: app: './path/to/your/app.apk', // OR for testing an installed app: appPackage: 'your.app.package', appActivity: '.MainActivity', noReset: true };

Available Actions

The MCP server supports various Appium actions:

  1. Element Interactions:
    • Find elements
    • Tap/click
    • Type text
    • Scroll to element
    • Long press
  2. App Management:
    • Launch/close app
    • Reset app
    • Get current package/activity
  3. Device Controls:
    • Screen orientation
    • Keyboard handling
    • Device lock/unlock
    • Screenshots
    • Battery info
  4. Advanced Features:
    • Context switching (Native/WebView)
    • File operations
    • Notifications
    • Custom gestures

Troubleshooting

  1. Device not found:
    • Check adb devices output
    • Verify USB debugging is enabled
    • Try reconnecting the device
  2. App not installing:
    • Verify APK path is correct
    • Check device has enough storage
    • Ensure app is signed for debug
  3. Elements not found:
    • Use Appium Inspector to verify selectors
    • Check if elements are visible on screen
    • Try different locator strategies
  4. Connection issues:
    • Verify Appium server is running
    • Check port conflicts
    • Ensure correct capabilities are set
