Connects Claude to Robot Actions, a cloud testing platform with real Android and iOS devices plus web browsers. You get natural language control over actual hardware, not simulators. The server exposes device interaction tools (tap, swipe, input), session management, and script generation in WebdriverIO, Python, and Robot Framework. Useful when you need to QA mobile apps or responsive web flows without maintaining your own device farm. Requires a Robot Actions account at the tenant URLs. The hosted MCP endpoints use SSE or streamable HTTP transports, so no local installation beyond configuring your MCP client with credentials and your tenant subdomain.
Test mobile and web apps from anywhere.

Robot Actions is a cloud-connected testing platform that lets you control real Android and iOS devices through a web browser, automate test flows with an AI assistant, and generate runnable test scripts in your framework of choice (WebdriverIO, Python, Robot Framework, and more).

Real iOS and Android devices, streamed live to your browser — no emulators, no local setup. A few of the things you can do:
Chat with the built-in AI Agent right inside a device session — ask it to find a defect or suggest improvements, and it drives the device on its own: screenshots, reads the screen, taps and swipes, and reports back findings and recommendations.
▶ Watch the demoNative-speed touch on a real iPad: playing a game and sketching in Freeform, straight from the browser.
▶ Watch the demoNative-speed pointer and keyboard input on both iOS and Android — type and click straight from your machine with no lag.
▶ Watch the demoFull DevTools — Network, Elements, Console, Application — attached to Safari running on a real iOS device.
▶ Watch the demoFull Chrome DevTools over the DevTools Protocol — Elements, Console, Network, Application — inspecting a live page on a real Android device.
▶ Watch the demoWatch live HTTP(S) flows from the device, then add rules to mock, abort, or rewrite matching requests — set the status, headers, and response body on the fly.
▶ Watch the demoDrop a pin anywhere — search a city or set latitude/longitude — and the device reports that location to any app, so you can test geo-aware flows without leaving your desk.
▶ Watch the demoThe web console follows your preference — switch between light and dark on the fly.
▶ Watch the demoMore feature walkthroughs are on the way.
The hosted MCP server is published at https://registry.modelcontextprotocol.io as io.github.krishtoautomate/remote-device-server and auto-syncs to:

Connecting an agent to the MCP server gives it several hundred tools. It does not tell it how to use them — and left to itself an agent will tap coordinates read off a downscaled screenshot, type before the field has focus, and report success from a screen it never checked.
skills/ holds open-source Agent Skills that supply that missing
procedural knowledge: which tool, in what order, and the mistakes that quietly turn a
passing test into one that tested nothing.
Install into any agent — Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Codex, Cline, Zed and 50+ more read the same universal format:

Run without flags and it asks which skills and which agents you want. To choose up front,
--list shows what is available without installing, and --skill <name> takes just one.
Claude Code users can install it as a plugin instead, which also registers the MCP server:
/plugin marketplace add krishtoautomate/robotactions
/plugin install robotactions@robotactions

This repo contains no application source code — Robot Actions is a hosted product, there is nothing to install or build. The repo exists for four current purposes plus one that's coming:
skills/ — open-source guidance that teaches an AI agent how to actually use the MCP server well. Also installable as a Claude Code plugin marketplace from this repo root.appium-python-client style), Robot Framework, and more. These will live as small standalone projects under examples/ so you can copy-paste a starting point. None of the application source will ever land here — the examples are public starter templates, not the product.| Filing here | Email us at support@robotactions.com |
