If you delegate simulator tasks to sub-agents, make sure they have MCP permissions.
Find a booted simulator
Use list-devices. Filter for entries with platform: "ios" — booted iPhones are listed first.
If none are booted, call boot-device with udid: <chosen UDID>.
Verify connection
All interaction tools (gesture-tap, gesture-swipe, gesture-custom, etc.) auto-start the server if not already running.
A1B2C3D4-E5F6-7890-ABCD-EF1234567890Record a reusable flow (scripted sequence of MCP tool calls) that can be replayed later with a single command. Use when the user asks to create, record, or build a flow, or to script a sequence of device actions.
Interact with an iOS simulator or Android emulator using argent MCP tools. Use when tapping UI elements, performing gestures, scrolling, typing text, pressing hardware buttons, launching apps, opening URLs, taking screenshots.
Debug a React Native app via Metro CDP using argent debugger tools. Use when connecting to Metro, inspecting React components, reading console logs, or evaluating JavaScript in the app runtime.
Step-by-step workflows for developing or debugging React Native apps on iOS simulator or Android emulator. Use when starting the app, debugging Metro, fixing builds, diagnosing runtime errors, or running tests.
Optimizes a React Native app by profiling first to find real bottlenecks, then sweeping for mechanical issues. Entry-point for all performance work. Use when the app feels slow, user asks to optimize, fix re-renders, reduce jank, or improve startup. Delegates to argent-react-native-profiler for measurement.
Autonomously test an app UI (iOS or Android) by running interact-screenshot-verify loops using argent MCP tools. Use when testing a UI flow, verifying login works, testing navigation, or running an end-to-end UI test scenario.
