PhonePi MCP: Turn your phone into a toolbox for AI assistants using Model Context Protocol

A powerful MCP server and companion app that allows you to manage and control your phone remotely using natural language commands via your favorite MCP-supported AI apps such as Cursor and Claude Desktop. This project provides a comprehensive set of tools and APIs to interact with your mobile device programmatically.

Overview

Phone MCP enables you to:

  • Manage contacts and messages
  • Handle snippets and notes
  • Control phone settings and notifications
  • Send SMS and make calls
  • Share content across apps
  • Monitor battery status
  • Set timers and reminders
  • Find your phone with audio alerts

Security

Security is a high concern. Here are a few aspects taken into account around security:

  • You are completely in charge around hosting the MCP server locally. The code is completely open source.
  • On the app front, you are in charge of what permissions to give depending on the features you want to use.
  • The app and the server are linked over your local network. There's no 3p remote servers involved in linking.
  • It is highly recommended you use this app over a secure network. Avoid public networks like airports and restaurants.
  • Tailscale is highly recommended for creating a private & secure VPN to connect your phone and desktops

Use PhonePi MCP with multiple AI models

TypingMind connects MCP tools at the workspace level, so once PhonePi is connected, you can use it with different AI models in TypingMind instead of setting it up separately for each model. This MCP runs locally through the TypingMind MCP connector on your device.

Setup guide to use the local connector

Use this when the MCP server needs access to local files, apps, or private resources on your computer.

1

Open the MCP settings

In TypingMind, go to Settings, Advanced Settings, then Model Context Protocol and choose Setup Connector.

  1. Open TypingMind in your browser.
  2. Click the Settings icon.
  3. Go to Advanced Settings.
  4. Open the Model Context Protocol section.
  5. Click Setup Connector and choose This Device.

2

Run the connector command

Choose This Device, copy the command from TypingMind, and run it in Terminal. Keep the process running while you use MCP.

  1. Copy the setup command shown by TypingMind.
  2. Open Terminal on macOS or Windows Terminal on Windows.
  3. Paste and run the command.
  4. Approve the package install if Terminal asks you to proceed.
  5. Keep the Terminal window running while using MCP tools.
3

Add PhonePi as a server

When the connector status is Ready, click Edit Servers and paste the MCP server configuration.

  1. Wait until the connector status shows Ready.
  2. Click Edit Servers.
  3. Paste the PhonePi MCP server configuration.
  4. Save the server list.
  5. Refresh if you want to confirm the connector is still ready.

Use it across models

Save the server list, open Plugins, enable the PhonePi MCP tools, then select any supported AI model in TypingMind and use the tools in chat or assign them to an AI agent.

  1. Open the Plugins page in TypingMind.
  2. Enable the PhonePi MCP tools.
  3. Start a chat and choose the AI model you want to use.
  4. Use the MCP tools in chat or assign them to an AI agent.
  5. Switch to another AI model whenever needed without reconnecting MCP.

Frequently asked questions

What is the PhonePi MCP server used for?

PhonePi is an MCP server that lets compatible AI clients connect to external tools and context. In TypingMind, you can add this MCP server once and make its tools available in your AI workspace.

Can I use PhonePi MCP with multiple AI models in TypingMind?

Yes. TypingMind connects MCP tools at the workspace level, so you can use PhonePi with different AI models such as Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, or other models you have configured in TypingMind without setting up the MCP server separately for each model.

Why use PhonePi MCP with TypingMind?

TypingMind is one of the best frontends for LLM chat because it brings multiple AI models, prompts, plugins, AI agents, API keys, and MCP tools into one workspace. With PhonePi connected, you can use its MCP tools across your preferred models while keeping your chat workflow organized in TypingMind.

How do I connect PhonePi MCP to TypingMind?

PhonePi runs through the TypingMind local MCP connector. This is best when the MCP server needs access to local files, desktop apps, command-line tools, or private resources on your computer.

What tools does PhonePi MCP provide in TypingMind?

PhonePi exposes 22 MCP tools that can be enabled from the TypingMind Plugins page and used in chat or assigned to AI agents.

Do I need to share my API keys with TypingMind to use PhonePi MCP?

No. TypingMind is local-first and lets you keep your model providers, API keys, prompts, and MCP configuration under your control. If PhonePi requires authentication, add the required headers, OAuth settings, or local configuration for that MCP server when you create the connection.
