Devices for AI agents: what exists today

usedevice is in early access. If your task needs a device now, these exist today. We are not affiliated with any of them. Grouped by what kind of thing they are, so you can pick the right kind first.

Device clouds with MCP servers

Built for human and scripted testing, now reachable by agents through official MCP servers. Large real-device fleets, trials, enterprise terms.

• BrowserStack: App Live and App Automate on real devices, with an official MCP server.
• Sauce Labs: real device cloud with a hosted MCP server, network throttling and traffic capture.
• LambdaTest: real device cloud and AI testing tools, MCP server available.
• Kobiton: real device cloud with MCP access.
• AWS Device Farm and Firebase Test Lab: hosted real devices for running app tests; scripted rather than agent-native.

Agent-first phone clouds

Built for agents from the start: an agent gets a phone through an API or MCP server and drives it.

• mobilerun: cloud Android and iOS devices with REST, SDKs and an MCP server; also an open-source framework for your own Android device.
• GBox: Android devices (emulated and physical) for agents, with an MCP server and free starting credits.
• Limrun: cloud iOS Simulators and Android Emulators for agents.
• Mobile Next: cloud devices behind the open-source Mobile MCP.
• phonebase: one API across emulators, cloud phones and real phones, plus a robot arm on an unmodified iPhone.

AI testers

You don't bring an agent; theirs tests your app in plain English on their devices. Examples: QualGent, Drizz, Autosana, Panto, QA.tech.

Open source, on your own devices

• Mobile MCP: an MCP server for iOS and Android apps on simulators, emulators or real devices you connect.
• DroidRun: a framework for LLM agents controlling Android devices.
• PhysiClaw: a robotic stylus and camera that operate a phone you own.

Where usedevice fits

One request, one API, every environment: simulator, emulator, real phone; shared, private, or your own hardware. Agent-first like the phone clouds, with the breadth of a device cloud. Side by side.
