MCP server

The same engine for an assistant, over stdio, on the phone on this Mac's cable.

Connect

Install the command line tool first, then add it to Claude Code:

claude mcp add tinyphone -- tinyphone mcp

Any MCP client that runs a local command works the same way: the command is tinyphone mcp.

Tools

tool	what it does
`phones`	the iPhone on the cable: ECID, name, model, iOS, whether it is supervised and whether by this Mac
`inspect`	what the phone carries: properties, every profile, the apps
`modes`	the phone’s saved modes and which one is active
`history`	what this Mac did to the phone, newest first
`profiles`	the configuration profiles on the phone, as the phone reports them
`doctor`	Apple Configurator, cfgutil, this Mac’s identity, a phone on the cable
`backup`	the phone backed up into this Mac’s MobileSync folder; does not change the phone
`apply`	changes the phone: a preset or your own mode, installed over the cable and read back
`remove_profile`	changes the phone: one profile by identifier, only with `confirm: true`

What it can reach

Only the phone on this Mac’s cable, and only what the command line can do. There is no hosted server: nothing an assistant does here goes through the internet.
