Ios Files MCP Server

What is Ios Files?

Ios Files is an MCP server that provides controlled SSH/SFTP access to an iOS device’s filesystem. It allows AI assistants or coding agents to browse, read, and (optionally) write files on a jailbroken or SSH‑enabled iOS device.

How to use Ios Files?

Install Node.js 20+ and ensure OpenSSH is running on the iOS device. Run the installer command with your client (e.g., --client codex), device host, and password. The server writes the MCP configuration automatically for supported clients (Codex, Claude Desktop, OpenCode, VS Code). USB SSH is supported via iproxy and localhost forwarding.

Key features of Ios Files

• Read‑only by default; optional write capability with approval system.
• List, stat, search, and hash files on the iOS device.
• Read text files, plists, SQLite databases, and React Native bundles.
• Detect installed apps and resolve their containers.
• Inspect and decode Hermes bytecode bundles.
• Static analysis via radare2 (device‑side or local fallback).
• Supports all major MCP clients with automatic config setup.

Use cases of Ios Files

• Inspect app data containers and preference plists for debugging.
• Read logs, configuration files, or SQLite databases from an iOS device.
• Explore file system structure during reverse engineering or security analysis.
• Copy or zip files from the device to a local computer for offline analysis.
• Decode React Native Hermes bytecode bundles for inspection.
