New 'remote-devices' MCP tools let Claude work with files and commands on iOS/Android mobile projects
What
A new remote-devices MCP (Model Context Protocol) server family has been added, with tools device_bash, device_list_dir, device_stage_files, and device_commit_files. Alongside these, a large set of mobile-development-specific capability identifiers were added, covering iOS (swift_edit, xcode_project) and Android (kotlin_edit, android_manifest, gradle_plugin) concepts.
Why
This extends the existing device-bridge mechanism, previously limited to running shell commands on a user's own machine from a cloud session, into a broader set of tools aimed specifically at mobile app development workflows.
