About

Write code, screenshot the result, iterate

Add it with claude mcp add ios-simulator npx ios-simulator-mcp and ask something like "launch my app, tap through onboarding and screenshot every screen". Tools include get_booted_sim_id, ui_describe_all, ui_tap, ui_type, ui_swipe, screenshot and video recording, plus app install and launch. Anthropic's Claude Code best practices post points to it for the screenshot and iterate loop. Things to know: it needs a Mac with Xcode simulators, Node and Facebook IDB, and versions before 1.3.3 had a command injection bug, so stay on a current release (2.1.0 as of August 2026). Built by Joshua Yoes, MIT, about 2.2k GitHub stars.
