# Introduction

`mobilenext` is a **remote MCP server** that gives your AI agent real iOS and Android devices in the cloud. There is nothing to download or run locally — you add one URL to your agent, log in through your browser, and your agent can allocate a device, install your app, and start tapping, typing, and taking screenshots.

## Get started in two steps[​](#get-started-in-two-steps "Direct link to Get started in two steps")

1. **Add the server to your agent** — pick your client under [Installation](https://mobilenext.ai/docs/docs/cloud/installation/claude-code.md):

   ```
   claude mcp add mobilenext --transport http https://app.mobilenext.ai/mcp
   ```

2. **Ask your agent for a device.** The first tool call opens your browser to authorize your Mobile Next account, then the agent takes it from there:

   > Allocate an iOS device, install my app, and walk through the login flow.

## What your agent can do[​](#what-your-agent-can-do "Direct link to What your agent can do")

* **Allocate and release** real iOS and Android devices on demand
* **Install apps** — upload your own `.apk`/`.ipa` (unsigned iOS builds are re-signed automatically)
* **Drive the UI** — tap, swipe, type, press buttons, read the accessibility tree
* **See the screen** — screenshots, screen recordings, and a live interactive device view

See [Tools & Prompts](https://mobilenext.ai/docs/docs/cloud/tools-and-prompts.md) for the full tool reference, including how device allocation and sessions work.
