## FAQ

### How do I connect SimAgentation to Claude Code or Codex?

Add the repository as a plugin marketplace and install the sim-agentation plugin, or register the stdio MCP server with a single command. The plugin also downloads the matching release and starts the web page.

### Does my iOS app need an SDK to use SimAgentation?

No. Annotations come from the simulator's accessibility tree, so it works with any app on any booted simulator. An optional SDK adds exact selections and source file and line info.

### How do I annotate a screen in SimAgentation?

Press Shift+Cmd+D to freeze the screen and load the accessibility tree, then hover, click an element or drag a box and write your note. Adding a note with Return files it in the inspector and makes it available to the agent.

### What requirements does SimAgentation have?

It needs macOS on Apple Silicon with Xcode 26, or Xcode 27.1 for the iPhone Duo model. It can be installed with Homebrew or built from source with Node and pnpm.

### Can I get annotations without using MCP?

Yes. Click Copy in the annotations tab to put all pending annotations on the clipboard as Markdown for any agent.
