Field notes
The setup example adds thumbs as an HTTP MCP server in Claude Code, while the page also describes adding it as a custom connector in the Claude app. Example observations return labeled interface elements with coordinates, and the walkthrough taps one by element number. The listed tests include a 20-minute command run and an app-onboarding walk; these are reported results from five runs on an iPhone 17 Pro in Spain.
