MobAI is a desktop application that gives AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor (or its own built-in agent) the ability to see and control iOS and Android devices, simulators, and emulators. It provides an MCP server, HTTP API, CLI, and Python harness so agents can take screenshots, read UI elements, tap, swipe, type, generate and self-heal tests, attach an iOS debugger, and record polished demo videos. It also supports parallel multi-device test runs, distributed and cloud device farms, and animation/performance testing.
