Could you build this?

Partial The MCP server and Windows CLI glue are vibe-codeable, but reliably driving a real iPhone from Windows depends on device-control protocols and automation infrastructure that are hard to get right.

What it would actually take: A real version needs an MCP server wrapping an iOS automation backend such as WebDriverAgent or a similar accessibility bridge, plus a Windows-side USB/usbmux connection layer. The hard parts are device pairing, stable touch and screenshot latency, and keeping up with iOS version changes. That requires someone comfortable with iOS internals and device protocols, not just prompt-driven app code.
