FAQ from iOS Simulator MCP Server

What are the prerequisites to run this server?

You need Node.js, macOS (iOS simulators are macOS-only), Xcode with iOS simulators installed, and Facebook’s IDB tool.

How do I install the server?

Run npx -y ios-simulator-mcp or build from source. For Cursor, add a configuration entry in ~/.cursor/mcp.json.

How can I target a specific simulator?

Use the optional udid parameter in tool calls, or set the IDB_UDID environment variable. UDID must be a UUID in 8-4-4-4-12 format.

Where are screenshots and videos saved?

By default to ~/Downloads. You can change the directory by setting the IOS_SIMULATOR_MCP_DEFAULT_OUTPUT_DIR environment variable.

Is there a security notice I should be aware of?

Versions before 1.3.3 had command injection vulnerabilities. Update to v1.3.3 or later.
