Connect Claude or Cursor to Real iOS/Android Devices with MCP

If you use Claude Desktop or Cursor, you can give them something most agents can't reach: a real phone. This is the short version of wiring either client to real iOS and Android devices over MCP, so your agent can tap, inspect, capture network traffic, and run tests on an actual device. (For the full walkthrough, see How to give an AI agent full control of a real device over MCP.)

Step 1 — Get an API token

1. Sign up at robotactions.com (Google or GitHub, one click).
2. Profile avatar → API Tokens → New token → copy it (shown once).

Step 2 — Connect Claude Desktop

Add RobotActions as a remote MCP connector pointing at:

Authenticate with your token (Authorization: Bearer <token>) when prompted. Reload Claude Desktop and the device tools appear.

Step 3 — Connect Cursor

Add it to Cursor's MCP configuration — endpoint https://mcp.robotactions.com/mcp with your token as the Authorization: Bearer header. Or run the connector:

npx @robotactions/mcp init

Reload Cursor; the RobotActions tools show up alongside your others.

Step 4 — Try it

Ask your agent:

"List devices, open an Android one, take a screenshot, then open Settings and toggle Wi-Fi."

It drives a real device — real taps, not a simulated overlay. From there you can have it inspect the network, mock a response, spoof GPS, or explore a flow and generate a test script.

Why bother?

Because it turns "test this on a real device" into a single instruction your existing agent can run — no cables, no simulators, no local device lab.
