Add cross-platform mobile and TV MCP automation - #43
Merged
Conversation
The Apple-platform MCP tools were named `smb_simulator_*` even though most drive the app through a ControlKit runner on a simulator *or* a physical device *or* macOS. That wrong scope signal, divergence from the verbs coding agents already know (XcodeBuildMCP's `describe_ui`/`tap`/`screenshot`), and a per-call `simulator_name`/`simulator_udid`/`host`/`controlkit_port` matrix with no selection step made Codex, Copilot, and Claude Code pick the wrong tools. - Rename host-agnostic actions to bare ecosystem verbs: `describe_ui`, `list_elements`, `tap`, `type_text`, `swipe`, `button`, `orientation_get/set`, `launch_app`, `terminate_app`, `capabilities`, `click` (macOS), `gesture` (visionOS). Keep truly simulator-only tools honest: `list_simulators`, `find_simulator`, `boot_and_install`, `open_url`. - Add `use_target` so a simulator or device is selected once and later actions need no target arguments; missing target fields fall back to it. - Consolidate near-duplicates: merge `device_screenshot` into a single auto-routing `screenshot`, fold `press_home` into `button`, and `watchos_tap` into `tap` (~25 tools down to 19). - Rewrite descriptions to be intent-first with honest host scope and use-when hints, dropping "ControlKit"/"simulator" jargon from the user-facing surface. - Update docs/mcp.md and docs/controlkit.md with the new names and a select-a-target-then-act workflow. Both the `smb_*` and standalone `xcrs_*` surfaces are renamed in lockstep. Release Notes: - Renamed the Apple-platform MCP tools to clearer, host-agnostic names (e.g. `smb_tap`, `smb_describe_ui`, `smb_screenshot`) and added `smb_use_target` to select a simulator or device once for subsequent actions. This is a breaking change for any scripts using the previous `smb_simulator_*` tool names. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
…y' into development
Unify Apple and Android device discovery, target selection, capabilities, and app control behind a focused 18-tool automation profile. Separate smbCloud tools from XCRS automation and update TDQS-oriented definitions, tests, registry metadata, and documentation. Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

Description
Adds a focused cross-platform MCP automation profile for Apple and Android devices. It unifies device discovery, target selection, capabilities, screenshots, app lifecycle, URLs, and input actions behind 18 canonical tools; keeps
smb --mcpcloud-only; and exposes the automation surface throughxcrs --mcpandsmb --mcp --scope automation. Tool definitions, registry metadata, and documentation are updated for TDQS quality and mobile/TV discoverability.Type of Change
