ExecBro

Give your AI assistant eyes and hands into your running React Native app. Like Chrome DevTools — but for AI agents.

Build, debug, and verify features end-to-end — without leaving the chat.

ExecBro is the runtime bridge between your AI coding assistant and your running React Native app — exposing MCP tools to read logs and network, inspect component state, capture screenshots, tap the UI, and run JS. Zero config, no SDK or code changes required to start — and installing the optional SDK is recommended for the most robust log and network capture.

Get started

1. Setup ExecBro as an MCP server for your agent of choice
2. Setup UI automation helpers
3. Install the SDK in your React Native app — optional, but recommended for the most robust log, network, and state experience
4. Authorize and link to the web dashboard — optional, for usage stats and session history
5. Start your React Native app (npm start / expo start)
6. Ask your AI assistant in plain language — e.g. "Connect to the simulator and investigate what caused the error on the screen"

Log in at execbro.com to see your ExecBro activity rendered back to you: which tools you use most, tool error rates, and your session history — so you can spot flaky tools, track usage over time, and understand how your agent drives the app across sessions. It's built from the same anonymous telemetry described in Telemetry & Privacy, tied to your installation ID.

Linking is only for the dashboard: it attaches your installs to your account so the stats are yours. Nothing in the tooling is gated behind it.

Features

Runtime Interaction

• Console Log Capture - Capture console.log, warn, error, info, debug with filtering and search. Note: on a cold start (first app launch), logs emitted before the MCP server connects are missed — subsequent reloads capture everything. Install the optional SDK to buffer logs from the very first line of app startup
• Network Request Tracking - Monitor HTTP requests/responses with headers, timing, and body content. Like logs, early network requests on cold start may be missed before the connection is established. Install the optional SDK for full capture from app startup including request/response bodies
• Response Mocking - Replace or tamper with HTTP responses so error paths are reached through the app's real code — the request builder, the error branch, the retry — instead of being faked by writing state directly. Simulate offline, delay responses, fail only the first attempt to test a retry, or re-issue a captured request with one field changed. Rules survive reload, and altered traffic is always tagged. See the mocking tutorial
• JavaScript Execution - Run code directly in your app (REPL-style) and inspect results
• Global State Debugging - Discover and inspect Apollo Client, Redux stores, Expo Router, and custom globals. Wire stores and other app internals straight into the agent with the optional SDK for direct, reliable state access
• Bundle Error Detection - Get Metro bundler errors and compilation issues with file locations
• Tap-to-Source - Point at any element with RN's Element Inspector and get back the absolute source file and line where it is rendered, resolved from the React fiber's _debugStack via Metro symbolication. Works on React 19, where _debugSource no longer exists. Selections are buffered in the background, so taps you make during a manual inspector session are captured without asking the agent first
