      React Native MCP provides 42 tools across 12 categories. Every tool is available to any MCP-compatible client (Cursor, Claude, Copilot, etc.) out of the box.

      Common Parameters

      Most tools accept these optional parameters:

      ParameterTypeDescription
      deviceIdstringTarget device ID. Omit when only one device is connected — auto-selected. Use get_debugger_status to list connected devices.
      platform"ios" | "android"Target platform. Auto-detected when only one device of that platform is connected.

      Selector Syntax

      Several tools accept a selector parameter that queries the React Native Fiber tree. The syntax supports:

      PatternExampleDescription
      TypeTextMatch by component type
      testID#submit-btnMatch by testID prop
      Text:text("Hello")Match by text content
