Appium MCP is the Appium project's own MCP server, published from the same GitHub organization as Appium itself under the GitHub-verified io.github.appium namespace. It drives Appium mobile automation sessions on iOS and Android and includes test creation tools; the README also documents behavior for HTTP and streamable MCP clients, including an environment setting that lets automation sessions survive client disconnects.

The registry record was updated 2026-08-13 and matches npm's latest 1.92.2 exactly. No project surface names a supported MCP revision, so spec status is recorded as unknown. The server itself needs no upstream credentials; it drives a local or self-managed Appium stack.
