What is the Agent Device MCP server?

Connect Agent Device to Claude, Cursor or any other MCP client and it stops being a tab you switch to. Agent-native CLI for AI app automation across iOS, Android, tvOS, Android TV, macOS, Linux, and web. The agent device mcp server is what makes that connection.

What the server does

Let your coding agent verify its changes in the running app.

agent-device is a command-line tool that lets coding agents inspect, control, and verify apps and save evidence for review. It supports iOS, Android, TV, web, macOS, and Linux.

Available tools

The toolset is worth reading before you wire it up, because it tells you what the integration is really for:

  • Path — Best for
  • Local — Trying commands and debugging apps on simulators, emulators, physical devices, macOS, and Linux
  • Articles — The Articles tool exposed by this server
  • Videos — The Videos tool exposed by this server

Installation

Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at agent-device on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.

Where it fits

This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Agent Device's toolset — Path, Local, Articles and 1 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by callstackincubator; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.

This entry was verified against Agent Device's own documentation before publication; SyncDev keeps the directory reviewed rather than auto-generated.

Worth knowing first

  • It runs with your machine's permissions. That is convenient and also the reason to think about what you point it at before you approve a tool call.
  • Keep per-call confirmation enabled while you learn its behaviour; it is the cheapest safeguard you have.
