description	Install and configure agent-device MCP server for simulator/emulator control

/setup-device — Setup Device Control

You are executing the /setup-device command. This is script-driven — it sets up the agent-device MCP server.

What This Does

Installs and configures the agent-device MCP server so commands like /debug, /perf, /component, and /deploy gain visual device interaction capabilities.

Process

Step 1: Check Prerequisites

# iOS: Check for Xcode and simulator
xcodebuild -version
xcrun simctl list devices

# Android: Check for Android Studio and emulator
adb version
emulator -list-avds

Step 2: Install agent-device MCP

Check if already configured in .claude/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "agent-device": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "agent-device"]
    }
  }
}

If not present, add the configuration.

Step 3: Verify Connection

# 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:

• Take a screenshot
• Detect booted device
• Perform a tap action

Step 4: Configure Command Integration

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

Output

## agent-device Setup Complete

Troubleshooting

Problem	Solution
iOS simulator not found	Install Xcode, run xcode-select --install
Android emulator not found	Install Android Studio, create AVD in AVD Manager
agent-device fails to connect	Check MCP server config in .claude/settings.json
