Noah Tran introduces DeviceMCP, an app that lets AI agents such as Codex or Claude control a real iPhone or iPad, so an agent can install an iOS app and test it like a human.

Tran says the device is mirrored to a Mac at 60fps over USB-C or WiFi, and that the app reads the UI hierarchy rather than using OCR, so agents can see hidden or off-screen buttons. Tran says iOS Simulators are supported and Android support is coming soon.

Tran says the app is still in development and offers a 50% early-bird discount. The listed licenses are a perpetual license with one year of updates, and a limited lifetime license for the first 100 users.
