🔌 Universal MCP Server for ARTEMIS

This directory contains the universal Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for ARTEMIS, enabling seamless mobile device automation inside AI IDEs and agents like Antigravity, Cursor, Claude Code, OpenClaw, and Windsurf.

🔔 Multi-Platform Notification & Wakeup Support

When you start an asynchronous mobile test via mobile_run_task, Artemis MCP runs the job as a detached background process so the AI agent is not blocked. Upon completion or failure, Artemis dispatches alerts across all available notification channels so that both human developers and AI agents are notified immediately across different platforms:

Platform / Environment	Primary Notification Mechanism	How It Works & Configuration
Antigravity / Jetski	Reactive Wakeup (AgentApiNotifier)	Automatically detects and caches the active IDE session credentials (ANTIGRAVITY_LS_ADDRESS, ANTIGRAVITY_CSRF_TOKEN), sorting candidate processes by creation time to avoid stale PIDs, and calls agentapi send-message to wake up the agent directly in the conversation.
Cursor / Windsurf / VS Code / Cline / Roo Code	Native Desktop Toast (DesktopNotifier) + File Audit (FileNotifier)	Enabled by default across macOS (osascript), Linux (notify-send), and Windows (powershell). Pops up a system notification banner informing the developer whether the task completed or failed. The AI agent inspects <trace_dir>/status.json or uses mobile_manage_task(action="status"). Can be silenced via ARTEMIS_DESKTOP_NOTIFY=false.
Claude Code / Desktop	Native Desktop Toast + File Audit	Alerts the user via system desktop notification banner when background execution concludes, while maintaining a complete JSONL audit log in notifications.jsonl.
OpenClaw / Slack / Discord / CI/CD	HTTP Webhook (WebhookNotifier)	Sends structured JSON POST payloads to custom endpoints configured via OPENCLAW_WEBHOOK_URL, MCP_NOTIFICATION_WEBHOOK, or ARTEMIS_WEBHOOK_URL.
Universal Custom IDE / CLI Hooks	Custom Script Hook (ScriptNotifier)	Set ARTEMIS_NOTIFY_CMD="my-script --title '{title}' --message '{message}' --trace-id '{trace_id}'" in your environment to execute any custom command or script upon event completion.

🧠 AI Agent Behavioral Rules (rules.md)

When connecting ARTEMIS to AI coding assistants like Antigravity, Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf, providing the assistant with domain-specific testing discipline is critical for generating reliable test code.

The included rules.md file contains the Mobile Testing Mindset (ARTEMIS Integration) guideline. It teaches the AI agent how to properly collaborate with ARTEMIS:

1. The Runnable Code Principle & Active Exploration: Instructs the AI to never guess or hallucinate UI transitions. Instead, it must first explore the live app via ARTEMIS MCP tools (mobile_run_task, etc.) to discover and verify real-world interaction paths before writing test scripts.
2. Flash vs. Pro Routing Strategy: Guides the AI to choose Flash for rapid, straightforward UI actions (< 30 steps) and Pro for complex multi-agent planning, polling loops, or video/log diagnosis.
3. Latency & Timing Compensation: Clarifies the difference between AI exploratory latency (e.g., model decision intervals) and the deterministic timing requirements of final test code.
4. "Dynamic-First, Coordinate-Fallback" Locator Pattern: Teaches the AI to prioritize dynamic UI locators (Resource IDs, OCR text, semantics) for layout resilience, while implementing absolute coordinate fallbacks for maximum execution reliability.

How Global Rules & MCP are Installed

When you run uv run artemis mcp --install all (or target a specific IDE like --install cursor, --install claude, etc.), the installer automatically synchronizes both global MCP server configuration and global testing rules into the corresponding user home directories (without creating project-level rule files in your workspace):

• Antigravity / Jetski: Automatically installs global rules to ~/.gemini/rules/artemis.md.
• Cursor: Automatically installs global YAML-frontmatter rule file at ~/.cursor/rules/artemis.mdc.
• Claude Code / Desktop: Automatically installs global rules to ~/.claude/rules/artemis.md.
• Windsurf: Automatically installs global rules to ~/.codeium/windsurf/rules/artemis.md.
• VS Code: Automatically installs global rules to ~/.vscode/rules/artemis.md.
• Cline / Roo Code: Automatically installs global rules to ~/.cline/rules/artemis.md and ~/.roo/rules/artemis.md.
• OpenClaw: Automatically installs global rules to ~/.openclaw/rules/artemis.md.

(Note: If you prefer manual configuration, you can also copy the contents of rules.md into your IDE's system prompt or global rules settings.)

🛠️ MCP Tools Overview

• mobile_run_task: Asynchronously launches an autonomous mobile automation task (Flash or Pro model) with optional device_serial targeting.
• mobile_manage_task: Manages task lifecycle (status, stop, inject_instruction), returning task state and assigned device_serial.
• mobile_get_device_state: Real-time observer (screenshot or OCR+XML hierarchy) with optional device_serial.
• mobile_inspect_trace: Granular trace inspection, visual action overlays, agent reasoning, and device_serial tracking.

📱 Device Selection & Multi-Device Execution

ARTEMIS supports parallel execution across multiple connected Android devices and emulators:

1. Direct Device Specification: Provide device_serial explicitly (e.g. device_serial="63191FDKX00062" or device_serial="emulator-5554"). Per-device execution locks allow distinct devices to run in parallel.
2. Automatic Device Selection: Omit device_serial to let ARTEMIS auto-select an available ready device from the device pool.

• User Choice Priority: When multiple devices/emulators are connected, AI agents should prioritize asking the user which device to run on.
• Device Diagnosis: Inspect connected hardware, authorization status, and serials anytime via adb devices or adb devices -l.

🚀 How to Run & Configure

CLI Execution

# Start server over stdio
python -m mcp_server

# Or via Artemis CLI
uv run artemis mcp

IDE Configuration

One-Click Auto Install (Recommended)

Run the automated installer to detect and configure your IDE (Antigravity, Cursor, Claude Code/Desktop, OpenClaw):

uv run artemis mcp --install all
# Or install specifically for Antigravity:
uv run artemis mcp --install antigravity

Manual JSON Config Generation

Run uv run artemis mcp --generate-config antigravity (or all) to output ready-to-use configuration JSON with resolved .venv Python and project paths.
