The service, available at agentcloud.so, supports uploading and building iOS source via Tart, creating disposable simulators, installing and launching apps, viewing screens, interacting via tap/swipe/type, reading logs, and creating bi-directional tunnels for Expo apps. AgentCloud records every simulator run and cloud build on a UI for inspection.", "body_md": "Hi HN, I’m Theo.\n\nI built AgentCloud because at Fiber we use Cursor Cloud a lot but cannot test our ios app on it.\n\nAgentCloud gives cursor cloud (or any other MCP-compatible cloud agent) a true ios simulator to install apps, tap around and test features and bug fixes end to end.\n\nThe agent can: - Upload and build iOS source using Tart. - Create a disposable Simulator. - Install and launch the app (built in the previous step) - See the screen (screenshots, ui tree etc.) - Tap, swipe, type, and open URLs. - Read app logs. - Create bi-directional tunnels. For example this is useful for Expo apps so the metro server can run on the cloud VM and the simulator can reach it.\n\nWe records every simulator run and cloud builds on a nice UI that you can inspect.\n\nTest it out at [https://agentcloud.so](https://agentcloud.so).\n\nComments URL: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49469964](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49469964)\n\nPoints: 1\n\n# Comments: 0", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-agentcloud-mcp-first-ios-simulator-cloud", "canonical_source": "https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49469964", "published_at": "2026-08-27 19:25:08+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-27 19:49:34.505559+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-tools", "developer-tools", "ai-infrastructure"], "entities": ["Theo", "AgentCloud", "Fiber", "Cursor Cloud", "Tart", "Expo"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-agentcloud-mcp-first-ios-simulator-cloud", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-agentcloud-mcp-first-ios-simulator-cloud.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-agentcloud-mcp-first-ios-simulator-cloud.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/show-hn-agentcloud-mcp-first-ios-simulator-cloud.jsonld"}}
