About iOS Simulator MCP Server

This MCP server controls iOS simulators: it finds the booted simulator, opens it, describes all UI elements or the element at a point, taps, types, swipes and captures the screen, so an assistant can check an app's behaviour after changing code.

iOS Simulator MCP Server is an open-source project written primarily in JavaScript, with 2.2k stars on GitHub. It was last updated in August 2026.
