Set up Mobile Next MCP in VS Code

Cross-platform mobile automation for iOS and Android. Control emulators, simulators, and real devices with accessibility-tree-based interactions.

1

Locate the config file

VS Code reads MCP server configuration from the following file:

.vscode/settings.json → mcp section

Create this file if it does not already exist. For VS Code, this is inside your workspace .vscode/settings.json file under the mcp section.

2

Add the configuration

Add the following to your VS Code config file:

json
{
  "servers": {
    "mobile-next-mcp": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@anthropic/mobile-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}
3

Set up environment variables

No environment variables needed. Mobile Next MCP works out of the box without any API keys or tokens.

4

Verify it works

Restart VS Code. Mobile Next MCP should appear in your MCP server list with 15 tools available.

This server adds approximately 7,725 tokens to your context window for tool definitions.
