Provides tools for iOS device automation, including app management, UI interaction (click, type, scroll), screen context retrieval, and RPC session handling.
Click on "Install Server".
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., "@rpcclient-mcp Launch the Settings app on my iOS device"
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.
MCP server for rpcclient targets iOS over stdio transport.
Python 3.10+
RPC server reachable
Related MCP server: xcforge
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install rpcclient-mcp
which rpcclient-mcprpcclient==6.11.1 is a package dependency, so it installs automatically with this MCP.
If you want to force local rpcclient source instead of PyPI:
