Derrors / iphone-control

Control a real USB-connected iPhone from Linux (no Mac, no paid developer account) and expose it to AI agents as MCP tools

Why this job: topics: mcp-server, model-context-protocol, mcp

Claude Code on the left calls iphone_launch_app and iphone_tap_element; on the right, the iPhone shows the Clock stopwatch running

What it does

  • Work with UI elements. read the element tree, tap by text (on a part not covered by floating bars or the keyboard), launch and close apps, open URLs, wait for text to appear
  • Fewer round trips. any action can return the resulting screen once it has settled, flagging pages still loading and blocking alerts; iphone_batch runs up to 20 steps in one call
  • Automatic fallback. when WebDriverAgent is down, screenshots, taps, swipes and keys switch to Apple's CoreDevice HID service (iOS 27+)
  • Runs unattended. recovers from replugging, phone reboots and WebDriverAgent crashes; re-signs WebDriverAgent with a free Apple ID before the 7-day profile expires
  • Alerts. Telegram or Bark notifications when re-signing fails, the Apple ID session expires, the phone goes offline, or a passcode is needed after a reboot
