AI-driven mobile testing on real devices — write tests in plain English, run on Kobiton's device cloud.

Alternates (pick before sign-off):

• B: Run Appium suites on Kobiton's real-device cloud — orchestrated by Claude, Cursor, Gemini, ChatGPT.
• C: Talk to your mobile test rig. Kobiton's MCP plugin turns Appium into an agent-native workflow.

Subtitle (~150 chars)

Kobiton's official Claude Code plugin (also runs in Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, ChatGPT) — orchestrates Appium 2.x test suites on real devices via MCP.

Long description (3 paragraphs)

Kobiton is a real-device cloud for mobile testing — actual iPhones and Androids in racks, not emulators. The Kobiton Automate plugin wraps Kobiton's 13-tool MCP server as a one-line install for Claude Code (and via AGENTS.md for Cursor, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, and the ChatGPT Apps SDK). With it installed, you can write requests like "Run the test scripts in ./tests/checkout/ on a Pixel 7 if available, otherwise any Android device with API 33+" and the agent handles app upload, device selection, capability reconciliation, session execution, and artifact retrieval — without you writing any glue code.

Under the hood the plugin orchestrates Appium 2.x test runs (Node, Python, .NET, Java) against Kobiton's device cloud. It works with whatever test framework you already have (WebdriverIO, pytest, NUnit, JUnit-TestNG) — no rewrite required. The included run-automation-suite skill guides the agent through the parse-script → upload-app → reserve-device → execute → collect-artifacts workflow, surfacing the live Kobiton portal session URL the moment the test starts so you can watch in real time.

The plugin is open source under MIT, maintained by Kobiton, and currently in a featured pilot with Intent Solutions — a Claude Code partner conducting structured audits across three review iterations (R1 closed 2026-04-28, R2 closed 2026-05-06, R3 closes 2026-05-25). Recent PRs have added Gemini CLI extension support, GitHub Copilot CLI support, multi-platform install paths, and structural improvements following Anthropic's skill-format conventions. Active development; PRs and issues welcome at github.com/kobiton/automate.

Key features (7 bullets)

• Real devices, not emulators — iPhones and Androids in Kobiton's data centers
• One-line install — Claude Code plugin marketplace OR pnpm install
• Multi-CLI compatible — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot CLI, ChatGPT Apps SDK
• Multi-language Appium support — Node.js, Python, .NET (C#), Java/Kotlin
• Live-session portal URL surfaced the moment a test starts — agent + you watch in parallel
• Session artifact retrieval — video, device logs, screenshots, test reports
• AGENTS.md cross-tool brief — single instruction file across every supported agent host
• OAuth 2.1 + API key auth paths — interactive devs and CI/headless both supported
• OSS, MIT-licensed — fork it, audit it, contribute back

Use cases (5 bullets)

• Manual QA teams adopting AI — write test directions in plain English; the agent handles Appium machinery
• CI pipelines — .mcp.apikey-example.json + headless auth path for nightly regression runs
• Cross-platform release validation — same suite, N device/OS combinations, one summary
• Onboarding new mobile testers — agent walks the team through capabilities, runtime selection, artifacts
• Reproducing customer-reported bugs — "Run our checkout suite on iPhone 14, iOS 17.3, locale=de_DE"

Validation / sign-off gates

• Frank/Stu sign-off on tagline (pick A/B/C)
• Frank/Stu sign-off on long description — ensure no claims about Kobiton platform features that don't exist
• Frank/Stu sign-off on use cases — ensure they align with Kobiton's go-to-market priorities
• Confirm install snippet works on fresh Claude Code install + fresh Kobiton account
