Set up

Claude Code

Anthropic's coding agent in your terminal. One command and it's connected in every project.

1
Open ScreenTap
The MCP server runs while the ScreenTap app is open and your iPhone is set up.
2
Add ScreenTap to Claude Code
Run this once in your terminal. --scope user makes ScreenTap available in every project. Leave it out to add it to the current project only.
Terminal
```
claude mcp add --transport http --scope user screentap http://127.0.0.1:47811/mcp
```
3
Check it's connected
screentap should be listed as connected.
Terminal
```
claude mcp list
```
4
Try it
Start a new Claude Code session (existing sessions don't pick up new servers) and ask:
Prompt
```
Take a screenshot of my iPhone and tell me what's on screen.
```

Set up

Claude Desktop

The Claude app for Mac. Add ScreenTap to its config file and restart.

1
Open the config file
In Claude Desktop, open Settings › Developer › Edit Config. This opens claude_desktop_config.json in ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/.

Add ScreenTap

Paste this in. If the file already has an mcpServers section, add only the "screentap" entry inside it.

claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "screentap": {
      "command": "/Applications/ScreenTap.app/Contents/MacOS/ScreenTap",
      "args": ["--stdio"]
    }
  }
}

3
Restart Claude Desktop
Quit it completely with ⌘Q (closing the window isn't enough), then open it again.
4
Check it's connected
Open the tools menu in a new chat. ScreenTap and its tools should be listed. Then try:
Prompt
```
Take a screenshot of my iPhone and tell me what's on screen.
```

Questions

Can Claude control an iPhone?+

Yes. With ScreenTap connected over MCP, Claude Code and Claude Desktop can take screenshots of your iPhone, tap, swipe, type and open apps.

Which Claude plan do I need?+

Any plan that gives you Claude Code or Claude Desktop with MCP support. ScreenTap itself is separate: a free 15-minute trial, then $19/mo or $99 once at launch.

Does Claude see my phone all the time?+

No. Claude only gets a screenshot when it calls a ScreenTap tool during a task you gave it. Nothing is sent anywhere else.
