Plastic-Risk-6309 · reddit · 2026-08-19

Manzanas is an open-source MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that enables AI agents to control iOS simulators using accessibility labels. It works with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and more, featuring fast taps, automatic UI detection, multi-agent simulator support, and no screenshot/coordinate guessing. The author demonstrates booting 7 slimmed sims across 3 Macs, orchestrated via Codex on a main laptop. The project also slims simulators to under 1GB RAM, facilitates leasing for orchestration, and connects easily to Tailscale networks.
