Cloud phones for AI agents, over MCP

MCP is how an AI agent gets tools. With a cloud phone's MCP server, the tools are the phone's screen, taps, typing and apps.

Which cloud phone can my AI agent control over MCP?

Distilled's MCP server, at https://mcp.distilled.cx/mcp, works with Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Codex and any other MCP client. Your agent signs in once, then sees the screen, taps, types and installs apps, on one phone or many at once. Each phone identifies as a Google Pixel 7, 7 Pro or 7a and has its own US mobile IP. GeeLark and MoreLogin also list MCP support.

Connecting your agent

It takes a few minutes.

  1. Start a free trial and get a phone.
  2. Add https://mcp.distilled.cx/mcp as a connector. In Claude, that's Settings, then Connectors. Or install the distilled plugin from the distilledcx/plugins marketplace in Claude, Claude Code or Codex.
  3. Sign in to Distilled when your client asks, and allow a workspace.
  4. Ask your agent for a screenshot of a phone, then give it a task.

What your agent can do

The server offers only the tools its key's scopes allow.

  • See the screen as an image, or as a list of the elements on it
  • Tap, swipe, type and press keys
  • Install, open and uninstall apps
  • Put files on a phone, such as a clip to post
  • Move a phone to a new IP or city
  • Hand a longer task to Distilled's own agent and follow its run

Details

Every tool, scope and connection option is in the MCP server docs.

Questions

Do I need an API key?

Not with Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code or Codex, which sign in with OAuth. Scripts and clients that can't open a browser send an API key instead.

Will my accounts get banned?

No one can promise that, because apps also judge what an account does. We give each account its own device and its own IP, the two things that get accounts linked and banned together.
