Inspect
Inspect provides a mobile web debugging platform that connects AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor to real iOS and Android devices. The tool offers a CLI with structured JSON output, a desktop app with familiar Chrome DevTools, and MCP integration, enabling agents to find, fix, and verify mobile web issues. It supports physical devices via USB, simulators, Safari, Chrome, WebViews, and any CDP-compatible device on the network.

Problem
Developers and AI coding agents often lack visibility into how web pages actually render and behave on real mobile devices, since most debugging tools target desktop browsers or simulators. Mobile-specific issues like layout breaks, failed network requests, and JavaScript errors on Safari or WebViews are difficult to reproduce and diagnose without direct access to physical hardware.
Solution
Inspect connects AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor to real iOS and Android devices, letting them find and fix mobile web issues through a CLI, desktop app, or MCP integration. The CLI provides structured JSON output with machine-readable errors and recovery suggestions, enabling agents to snapshot pages, follow console errors, trace failed requests, edit code, reload the browser, and re-shoot screenshots to verify fixes. The desktop app offers a familiar Chrome DevTools interface with element inspection, live CSS editing, network tracing, and React DevTools for mobile browsers. All tools work with physical devices via USB and simulators, and support Safari, Chrome, WebViews, desktop Safari, and any CDP-compatible device on the network.
Target Audience
Primary users are developers and AI coding agent users who build and maintain mobile web experiences, including frontend engineers, QA engineers, and teams using Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor for mobile web debugging.
