Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@iPhone MCP Server take a screenshot of my home screen and list all visible apps"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
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 as an MCP client for iPhone automation.
