Install and configure agent-device MCP server for simulator/emulator control
You are executing the /setup-device command. This is script-driven — it sets up the agent-device MCP server.
Installs and configures the agent-device MCP server so commands like /debug, /perf, /component, and /deploy gain visual device interaction capabilities.
# iOS: Check for Xcode and simulator
xcodebuild -version
xcrun simctl list devices
# Android: Check for Android Studio and emulator
adb version
emulator -list-avds
Check if already configured in :
.claude/settings.json{
"mcpServers": {
"agent-device": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "agent-device"]
}
}
}
If not present, add the configuration.
# Boot a simulator (iOS)
xcrun simctl boot "iPhone 16 Pro"
# Or start an emulator (Android)
emulator -avd Pixel_8_API_35 &
Test that agent-device can:
After setup, these commands gain enhanced capabilities:
| Command | Enhancement |

/debug | Screenshot reproduction steps, tap through UI |
/perf | Measure real FPS, capture actual jank frames |
/component | Render on device, visual verification screenshot |
/deploy | Launch preview build, verify UI before submit |
/build-fix | Build, install, and launch to verify fix |
