AutoMobile MCP Server

Overview

AutoMobile is a purpose‑built MCP server that bridges the gap between AI assistants and mobile application automation. It enables an AI agent to issue high‑level tool calls that are translated into concrete actions on Android devices, with plans to support iOS in the future. By exposing a rich set of actions—such as tapping, swiping, scrolling, and querying UI elements—the server gives developers a single, consistent interface for both testing and development workflows. The ability to observe the device state after each action allows an AI assistant to maintain a coherent interaction loop, making it possible to write or modify tests on the fly and immediately see the impact.

The server solves a common pain point for mobile developers: the friction between writing automation code and interacting with real devices. Instead of manually scripting test cases in frameworks like Espresso or Appium, a developer can let the AI generate and execute tests directly. AutoMobile’s automated test authoring mode is unique in that it writes the entire test script for you, eliminating boilerplate and ensuring that tests stay synchronized with the UI hierarchy. When tests are executed locally or in CI, the server handles device provisioning, emulator management, and app lifecycle tasks, so developers need not set up separate infrastructure.

Key capabilities include:

• Powerful MCP Server – A comprehensive action catalogue that maps natural language commands to low‑level UI interactions, complete with fast observations that feed back into the AI’s decision process.
• Source Mapping – By combining project path configuration with deep view hierarchy analysis, the server can pinpoint exactly which code fragment is rendering a given UI element, enabling precise test targeting and debugging.
• Automated Test Authoring – In authoring mode, the server writes full test scripts from scratch, the only tool that can do this automatically for mobile apps.
• Test Execution – Run tests on physical devices, emulators, or CI pipelines without extra plumbing; the server orchestrates device state and captures results.
• Device Management – Support for multiple devices, including emulator control and app lifecycle management, giving developers flexibility to test across configurations.

Typical use cases span the entire mobile development cycle. QA engineers can generate regression suites instantly, while developers can prototype UI flows by having the AI describe and interact with screens in real time. In continuous integration, AutoMobile can run a fresh set of tests on every commit, ensuring that new code does not break existing functionality. Because the server exposes a clean MCP interface, it can be integrated into any AI workflow that supports tool calls, from conversational assistants to automated code review bots.

What sets AutoMobile apart is its end‑to‑end automation stack wrapped in a single MCP server. Developers no longer need to juggle separate testing frameworks, device farms, or manual scripting. By combining source mapping, automated test authoring, and seamless device orchestration, the server delivers a streamlined, AI‑driven mobile testing experience that accelerates delivery and reduces friction in the development pipeline.
