MobSF MCP server

This is a small helper that connects your AI assistant to MobSF, a free tool that checks mobile apps for security problems. You give it an app file (an .apk for Android or an .ipa for iPhone), and your AI walks through the scan results with you. It is handy for anyone who needs to look at app security without digging through raw report files.

What this MCP server does

You ask your AI to scan an app file, for example an .apk or .ipa sitting on your computer. Your AI passes that request to this helper program. The helper sends the file to your local MobSF server, starts a scan, and waits for the analysis to finish. Then it pulls back the summary of the report and hands it to your AI. Your AI reads that summary and explains it to you in plain words in the chat.

• Scan an Android .apk file for security issues
• Scan an iPhone .ipa file for security issues

• Check an app before you install or share it

Try asking your AI

• “scan myapp.apk”
• “scan /Users/me/Downloads/test.ipa”
• “scan this apk and tell me if anything looks dangerous”
• “scan the ipa file and summarize the security findings”

What it gives back to you

You get back a written summary of the MobSF scan in your chat, not a giant raw file. It focuses on the important findings and skips huge blocks of text like raw strings or source code, so the answer stays readable. Your AI can then explain what each finding means and answer your follow-up questions.
