MCP Ios MCP Server

local only

Nothing serious here today

Today is the operative word: we check MCP Ios every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add mcp-ios -- npx -y @dockndevai/mcp-ios
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-ios": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@dockndevai/mcp-ios"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
~/.codex/config.toml
[mcp_servers.mcp-ios]
command = "npx"
args = ["-y", "@dockndevai/mcp-ios"]
.cursor/mcp.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-ios": {
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@dockndevai/mcp-ios"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}
.vscode/mcp.json

  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-ios": {
      "args": [

        "@dockndevai/mcp-ios"
      ],
      "command": "npx"
    }
  }
}

This one needs environment variables set before it will start: IOS_APPIUM_URL (Base URL of the running Appium server (default http://127.0.0.1:4723).), IOS_UDID (Target device UDID.), IOS_MODE (Access mode: read-only | read-write | admin.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.

MCP Ios — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for MCP Ios?
MCP Ios runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package @dockndevai/mcp-ios.
How do I connect MCP Ios?
Copy the ready config from this page — we generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each with the file path that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls @dockndevai/mcp-ios straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
Is MCP Ios open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript and 0 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
