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:
{
"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>
The server provides the following tools to generate code for Appium gestures:
