More than an API

MobAI is a desktop app with screen mirroring, element picker, and a built-in AI agent.

Screen Mirroring & Element Picker

See your device mirrored in real-time. Click any element to inspect properties, bounds, and accessibility info.

Built-in AI Agent

Run tasks directly from the app. Bring your own API key from OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google. Natural language commands.

Context Pipeline

Element Picker captures context → AiBridge injects it into Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI. No copy-paste. AiBridge →

Auto Bridge Setup

Handles bridge installation and device pairing automatically. Just plug in and go.

FAQ

What is MobAI and how does it work?

MobAI is a desktop application that gives AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor eyes on mobile devices. It provides an MCP server and HTTP API that lets AI agents take screenshots, read UI elements, tap, swipe, and type on Android and iOS devices.

Which AI tools does MobAI integrate with?

MobAI works with any AI tool that supports MCP (Model Context Protocol) including Claude Code, or any tool that can make HTTP requests. This includes Cursor, Windsurf, Codex, and custom AI agent frameworks. The HTTP API makes it universally compatible.

Does MobAI work with both Android and iOS?

Yes, MobAI supports both Android and iOS devices. You can connect physical devices via USB or use emulators and simulators. The same API works identically across both platforms.

Is MobAI free to use?

MobAI offers a free tier with 1 device and 100 API calls per day (requires internet connection). The Pro plan at $9.99/month unlocks unlimited devices, API calls, and 7-day offline mode for professional use.

Does my data leave my computer?

No. MobAI runs entirely on your local machine. Screenshots, UI data, and all automation happens locally. The only network communication is for license validation and updates. Your app data never leaves your computer.

What platforms does MobAI run on?

MobAI is available for macOS, Windows, and Linux. It's a native desktop application that you download and run locally.

How can I automate mobile app testing with AI?

MobAI enables AI-powered mobile app testing by connecting AI coding agents to your mobile devices. Download MobAI, connect your Android or iOS device, then use natural language commands through Claude Code, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible tool. The AI agent can see your app's UI, tap elements, type text, and verify behavior - all automatically. This "vibe coding" approach lets you test mobile apps 2-3x faster than traditional methods.

What is an MCP server for mobile development?

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server is a bridge that connects AI coding tools to external capabilities. MobAI's MCP server gives AI agents like Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf the ability to control mobile devices. Through the MCP protocol, AI agents can take screenshots, read UI accessibility trees, perform taps and swipes, and run automated tests on both iOS and Android devices.

Can I use Claude Code to test mobile apps?

Yes! MobAI provides a dedicated plugin for Claude Code that enables mobile app testing directly from your terminal. Install the MobAI plugin, connect your device, and Claude Code can see your mobile screen, tap UI elements, type text, and verify app behavior. This enables a true "vibe coding" workflow where you can develop and test mobile apps without leaving Claude Code.

How does MobAI compare to Appium or XCTest?

Unlike traditional testing frameworks like Appium or XCTest that require writing test scripts in code, MobAI enables AI-powered testing through natural language. Simply describe what you want to test and the AI agent handles the automation. MobAI also provides a unified API for both iOS and Android (unlike XCTest which is iOS-only), integrates directly with AI coding tools via MCP, and runs entirely locally for privacy. It's designed for the "vibe coding" era where AI agents handle the implementation details.

What is vibe coding for mobile apps?

Vibe coding is a development approach where you describe what you want in natural language and AI agents handle the implementation. For mobile apps, MobAI enables vibe coding by giving AI agents visual feedback - they can see your app's screen, understand the UI, and verify changes work correctly. Instead of manually testing every code change, describe the expected behavior and let the AI agent verify it automatically on real devices or emulators.

What is ios-builder and how does it work?

ios-builder is our open source CLI tool that lets you build iOS apps from Windows, Linux, or any platform without a Mac. It uses GitHub Actions to run Xcode builds remotely and MobAI to deploy to real iOS devices. It supports native Swift, Flutter, React Native, and Expo projects with hot reload capabilities.

Does MobAI support web automation on mobile?

Yes. MobAI provides full web automation for Safari, Chrome, and WebViews on both iOS and Android. You can use CSS selectors, execute JavaScript, manipulate the DOM, navigate pages, and interact with web content. Native UI (address bar, tabs) uses accessibility-based automation while page content uses web debugging protocols.

What is DSL batch execution?

DSL (Domain Specific Language) execution lets you run precise, multi-step automation scripts in a single API call. It supports 20+ action types including taps, swipes, typing, assertions, conditional logic, and retry strategies. Smart element matching uses text, labels, types, and spatial relationships to find elements reliably.

What is AiBridge?

AiBridge is our open source tool that wraps terminal-based AI assistants (Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI) and exposes an HTTP API for external text injection. Combined with our Chrome extension ContextBox, you can visually select UI elements in a browser and send that context directly to your AI assistant.
