  2. In the left sidebar, click Customize.
  3. Go to Personal Plugins and click the + button.
  4. You’ll see a popup with Browse Plugins and Create Plugin — hover over Create Plugin.
  5. Click Add Marketplace.
  6. In the popup, paste the following:

Example prompts

Try these to get started:
  • “Open Settings and take a screenshot”
  • “Go to Safari and search for flights to Denver”
  • “Open DoorDash and order from the first restaurant”
  • “Take a screenshot and tell me what apps are on the home screen”

​
Troubleshooting

Make sure the TapKit Mac app is running with a phone connected. You may need to re-authenticate the plugin.
Check that your phone is awake and the screen is on. Switch Control must be enabled on the iPhone. If the Mac app shows the phone as disconnected, unplug and replug the USB cable.
If you have multiple phones, Claude may need to select the right one. Ask Claude to “list my available phones” and then specify which one to use.
