Installation

Prerequisites:

• macOS with Xcode ≥ 15 (for recent iOS runtimes)

• Homebrew (for idb utilities)

• Node.js ≥ 18 and npm, pnpm or yarn

• An iOS Simulator image already downloaded through Xcode

1. Install Facebook’s “idb” tooling that the server relies on:

brew tap facebook/fb
brew install idb-companion idb
# Verify it works
idb list-targets

2. Clone the repository and install JS dependencies:

git clone https://github.com/InditexTech/mcp-server-simulator-ios-idb.git
cd mcp-server-simulator-ios-idb
npm ci   # or: pnpm i / yarn install

3. Build the TypeScript sources:

npm run build
# During development you can instead run `npm run dev` (ts-node/ts-node-dev)

4. Configuration:

• Copy .env.example to .env and set a free TCP port (default 3333).

• Ensure the IDB companion has the simulator booted, e.g.:

idb boot --id <SIMULATOR_UDID>

5. Start the MCP server:

npm start # listens on http://localhost:3333 by default

6. Test it with cURL:

-H "Content-Type: application/json" \

-d '{"tool":"takeScreenshot","args":{}}'

curl -X POST http://localhost:3333/mcp/execute \
