Editorial interest 75/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

Handset is an early-access MCP project proposing to let Claude read, tap, and type inside real iOS apps, with a hosted-iPhone option for people without a Mac.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-08 issue.

For: Developers experimenting with Claude and real iOS apps
Worth noticing: Hosted phones are priced at $89 monthly; the listed pre-order requires three months up front and a four-phone rack to go live.

Field notes

The request form collects a proposed first task, iPhone generation, and whether the developer would run the setup on a Mac or use a hosted device. For hosted use, the page describes an always-on iPhone and a $267 three-month pre-order, refundable until the phone is live; it says a rack proceeds after four pre-orders. The displayed rack counter is explicitly identified as an example.
