## Common questions

### What is the looktap MCP server?

looktap is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.lakpriya1s/looktap. Let your AI agent see, use and control the apps on your phone: screen as text, tap by label. This page covers its npm package (@looktap/mcp).

### Is the looktap MCP server safe to use?

looktap scores 75 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 5 November 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

### What tools does the looktap MCP server expose?

looktap exposes 20 tools: ls, tap, tap_xy, long_press, fill, and 15 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,314 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

### Is the looktap MCP server still maintained?

looktap is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 5 November 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.

### What licence is the looktap MCP server under?

looktap declares the AGPL-3.0-only licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
