MCP server - MobileBoost

The MobileBoost MCP server lets your AI coding agent call MobileBoost directly: list and edit tests, trigger test runs, and check run status without leaving your editor. Any client that supports the Model Context Protocol can connect to it.

Prerequisites

A MobileBoost account
An MCP-compatible client (Cursor, Claude Code, Claude Desktop, or any other MCP client)

Server details

Field	Value
URL	`https://api.mobileboost.io/mcp`
Transport	Streamable HTTP
Authentication	OAuth 2.1 (browser sign-in, no API key)
Protocol revision	`2025-06-18`

Integrate the server

Pick your client below and follow the steps. The first time you connect, your browser opens a MobileBoost sign-in page; after that, the client refreshes tokens automatically.

Cursor
Claude Code
Claude Desktop
VS Code
Other clients

Open the MCP configuration

In Cursor, open Settings → MCP → Add new MCP server, or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json directly.

Add the MobileBoost server

Paste the following entry:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mobileboost": {
      "url": "https://api.mobileboost.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Save the file. Cursor opens a browser tab — sign in with your MobileBoost account and approve the requested scopes. The server then shows up with a green status indicator under Settings → MCP.

Add the server with the CLI

claude mcp add --transport http mobileboost https://api.mobileboost.io/mcp

Claude Code opens your browser on first use. Sign in to MobileBoost and approve access.

Verify the connection

claude mcp list

The mobileboost entry should report as connected.

Add MobileBoost as a custom connector - no config file editing needed.

Open Connectors settings

In Claude Desktop, click your profile icon and choose Settings, then go to Connectors in the sidebar. You can also open it directly at claude.ai/customize/connectors.

Add a custom connector

Scroll to the bottom of the connector list and click Add custom connector.

Enter the MobileBoost URL

In the Remote MCP server URL field, paste:

https://api.mobileboost.io/mcp

Leave Advanced settings untouched. MobileBoost uses Dynamic Client Registration, so no OAuth client ID or secret is required.

Save and connect

Click Add to save the connector, then click Connect next to MobileBoost in the list. A browser window opens for you to sign in to MobileBoost and approve the requested scopes.

Enable in chat

Open a new chat, click the + button in the message composer, choose Connectors, and toggle MobileBoost on.

Custom connectors connect from Anthropic’s cloud, not your local machine. The MobileBoost MCP server is publicly reachable, so this works out of the box.

On Team and Enterprise plans, an Owner must first add the connector under Organization settings → Connectors before members can connect to it.

Create the MCP config

In your project root, create .vscode/mcp.json:

{
  "servers": {
    "mobileboost": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://api.mobileboost.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Start the server

Open the Command Palette and run MCP: List Servers, select mobileboost, and click Start. VS Code opens your browser to complete sign-in.

Any MCP-compatible client can connect to MobileBoost. Use:

URL: https://api.mobileboost.io/mcp
Transport: Streamable HTTP

For clients that only support stdio, use the mcp-remote bridge:

npx -y mcp-remote https://api.mobileboost.io/mcp

The client (or mcp-remote) discovers the authorization server, registers itself, and runs the browser sign-in flow automatically.

Verify the integration

Once connected, ask your agent something that requires MobileBoost data, for example:

List my MobileBoost tests.

The agent should call list_tests and return your tests. If the call fails with an authentication error, sign out and reconnect from your client’s MCP settings.

Available tools

The server exposes the following tools, all scoped to your MobileBoost organisation:

Tool	Scope	Description
`list_tests`	`mcp:read`	List tests with id, title, tags, and last update time.
`get_test`	`mcp:read`	Fetch a single test by id, including its commands.
`create_test`	`mcp:write`	Create a new test with a title and a list of commands.
`update_test`	`mcp:write`	Replace the commands of an existing test.
`delete_test`	`mcp:write`	Delete one or more tests.
`execute_tests`	`mcp:write`	Trigger a test suite run by `testIds` or `tags`. Returns a `testSuiteRunId`.
`get_test_run_status`	`mcp:read`	Fetch the status and summary of a previously-started run.

Read-only clients that only request mcp:read see the four read tools and have the write tools hidden.

Scopes

The server defines two OAuth scopes:

mcp:read — list and read tests and runs
mcp:write — create, update, delete, and execute tests

Most clients request both by default. To restrict an agent to read-only access, set the scope explicitly in your client config (see your client’s documentation for the exact field).
