# MCP Appium Gestures
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server providing resources and tools for Appium mobile gestures.
## Features
- Documentation resources for common Appium mobile gestures:
- Tap
- Swipe
- Scroll
- Pinch/Zoom
- Long Press
- Drag and Drop
- Double Tap
- Tools to generate code for these gestures in different languages:
- JavaScript (WebdriverIO v9+ and below)
- Java (Appium Java Client)
## Installation
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/mcp-appium-gestures.git
cd mcp-appium-gestures
# Install dependencies
npm install
```
## Usage
### Start with stdio transport (for local use)
```bash
# Start the server with stdio transport
npm start
# or
npm run start:stdio
```
### Start with SSE transport (for remote use)
```bash
# Start the server with SSE transport on default port (8080)
npm run start:sse
# Start the server with SSE transport on a custom port
npm run start:sse:port 3000
```
### Development and Testing
```bash
# Test with mcp-cli
npm run dev
# Inspect with MCP Inspector
npm run inspect
```
## Usage with Claude
To use this MCP server with Claude, you need to add it to your MCP settings configuration file. The location of this file depends on your platform:
- For Cursor: `/Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Cursor/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json`
- For Claude Desktop: `/Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
- For Cline or other MCP clients: Check your client's documentation for the configuration file location
Add the following configuration to the `mcpServers` object in the settings file:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"appium-gestures": {
"command": "npx",
"disabled": false,
"args": ["mcp-appium-gestures"],
"autoApprove": [],
"timeout": 300,
"transportType": "stdio"
}
}
}
```
Once configured, you can use the MCP server's tools and resources directly in Claude:
```
<use_mcp_tool>
<server_name>appium-gestures</server_name>
<tool_name>generate-tap-code</tool_name>
<arguments>
{
"language": "javascript",
"useElement": true,
"elementId": "login-button"
}
</arguments>
</use_mcp_tool>
```
Or access resources:
```
<access_mcp_resource>
<server_name>appium-gestures</server_name>
<uri>gesture://tap</uri>
</access_mcp_resource>
```
## Resources
The server provides documentation resources for the following gestures:
- `gesture://tap` - Tap gesture documentation
- `gesture://swipe` - Swipe gesture documentation
- `gesture://scroll` - Scroll gesture documentation
- `gesture://pinch-zoom` - Pinch and zoom gestures documentation
- `gesture://long-press` - Long press gesture documentation
- `gesture://drag-drop` - Drag and drop gesture documentation
- `gesture://double-tap` - Double tap gesture documentation
You can also access a specific gesture by name using the template: `gesture://{name}`
## Tools
The server provides the following tools to generate code for Appium gestures:
### generate-tap-code
Generates code for tap gesture.
Parameters:
- `language`: 'javascript' or 'java'
- `useElement`: boolean - whether to tap on an element or at coordinates
- `elementId`: string (required if useElement is true) - the element ID to tap on
- `x`: number (required if useElement is false) - x coordinate to tap at
- `y`: number (required if useElement is false) - y coordinate to tap at
### generate-swipe-code
Generates code for swipe gesture.
Parameters:
- `language`: 'javascript' or 'java'
- `startX`: number - starting x coordinate
- `startY`: number - starting y coordinate
- `endX`: number - ending x coordinate
- `endY`: number - ending y coordinate
- `duration`: number (optional, default: 500) - duration of the swipe in milliseconds
### generate-scroll-code
Generates code for scroll gesture.
Parameters:
- `language`: 'javascript' or 'java'
- `direction`: 'up', 'down', 'left', or 'right'
- `useElement`: boolean (optional, default: false) - whether to scroll to an element
- `elementId`: string (optional) - the element ID to scroll to
- `distance`: number (optional, default: 300) - distance to scroll
### generate-long-press-code
Generates code for long press gesture.
Parameters:
- `language`: 'javascript' or 'java'
- `useElement`: boolean - whether to long press on an element or at coordinates
- `elementId`: string (required if useElement is true) - the element ID to long press on
- `x`: number (required if useElement is false) - x coordinate to long press at
- `y`: number (required if useElement is false) - y coordinate to long press at
- `duration`: number (optional, default: 2000) - duration of the long press in milliseconds
### generate-double-tap-code
Generates code for double tap gesture.
Parameters:
- `language`: 'javascript' or 'java'
- `useElement`: boolean - whether to double tap on an element or at coordinates
- `elementId`: string (required if useElement is true) - the element ID to double tap on
- `x`: number (required if useElement is false) - x coordinate to double tap at
- `y`: number (required if useElement is false) - y coordinate to double tap at
- `pauseDuration`: number (optional, default: 200) - pause duration between taps in milliseconds
