Talking to the mobilerun assistant

Overview

If the Mobilerun MCP server is connected, use mobilerun-assistant-mcp to talk to the assistant through its MCP tool.

The mobilerun assistant ("the VA") is a conversational agent that runs real tasks — it can browse, use apps, and drive a device — inside a session you create. You talk to it the same way you'd talk to a person over chat: send a message, read the streamed reply, and sometimes the assistant needs a human to make a call before it can continue (approve a risky action, or answer a clarifying question). That's HITL, and it is the part of this API that is easiest to get wrong — read the HITL section before you ship anything that sends messages unattended.

A conversation lives in a session (a persistent chat thread with a title). Each message you send starts a turn: the assistant streams back its reasoning, tool calls, and text until the turn settles.
