Quick Start

Mirror your first iPhone or iPad and connect your AI agent in three steps.

Get from download to a live device, controlled by your AI agent, in about a minute.

1. Plug in your iPhone or iPad

  1. Connect your iPhone or iPad to your Mac with a cable.
  2. Unlock it and tap Trust when it asks whether to trust this computer.
  3. Turn on Developer Mode: on the device, open Settings → Privacy & Security → Developer Mode, turn it on and restart the device.
  4. Turn on Enable UI Automation in Settings → Developer.

See iPhone & iPad for the details.

2. Open Device MCP

Your device appears in the sidebar and starts mirroring in about a second. Click it and use your mouse and keyboard to control it.

3. Connect your AI agent

  1. Open Device MCP → Settings → MCP and turn on Enable MCP Server.
  2. Copy the command for your agent and run it in Terminal. For Claude Code:
claude mcp add --scope user device-mcp -- "/Applications/Device MCP.app/Contents/MacOS/device-mcp"
  1. Ask your agent to use the device, for example: "Take a screenshot of my iPhone and tell me what's on screen."
