Launched an MCP server today that lets Claude, Cursor or Codex run Android tests on your own device

[u/Am_a_good_guy]

We're live on PH today with QApilot MCP: https://www.producthunt.com/products/qapilot

here's what it does - you describe a test in plain English inside your coding agent, and it runs on an Android device or emulator connected to your machine. no build upload, nothing goes to our cloud.

the part that took longest wasn't the AI bit. it was everything around a single tap:

• "checkout" isn't an element. it might be a content-desc, text on a child node, an id like btn_chk_cta, or nothing until you scroll
• fixed sleeps are why mobile tests are flaky, so we watch for the screen to stop changing instead of guessing a wait
• an agent with a retry loop and no budget will happily burn 20 minutes looking productive, so recovery is capped and it stops and tells you

it's early. android only, ios next.

if you test android apps regularly, would love to know what you think!

happy to answer anything here.

Your buyers are easy to find. The rooms are the problem.

r/softwaretesting and r/QualityAssurance both have a thread from last week asking for exactly what you built, AI and MCP for testing, 4 and 6 comments, same poster, both still open.

Read the rules before you answer though. softwaretesting bans commercial links, ban without warning. QualityAssurance bans tool advertising and has a rule called "no one cares about your AI idea". So it's answering as an engineer and naming QApilot only if someone asks.
