1. Setup Steps
If you delegate simulator tasks to sub-agents, make sure they have MCP permissions.
1. **Find a booted simulator** Use `list-devices`. Filter for entries with `platform: "ios"` — booted iPhones are listed first. If none are booted, call `boot-device` with `udid: <chosen UDID>`.
2. **Verify connection** All interaction tools (`gesture-tap`, `gesture-swipe`, `gesture-custom`, etc.) auto-start the server if not already running.
2. Notes
- UDIDs look like: `A1B2C3D4-E5F6-7890-ABCD-EF1234567890`
