This paper introduces MCSim, a modular and extensible simulator designed to support the planning and evaluation of Mobile CrowdSensing (MCS) campaigns in urban environments. MCSim integrates a useful approximation of urban mobility patterns based on real-world street networks, as well as the simulation of task execution effectiveness within configurable data transmission ranges. Unlike other simulators, MCSim is built to accommodate future extensions, such as edge/fog computing architectures. The current version of the software offers a user-friendly interface, customizable configuration options, and robust output analysis. By combining realistic mobility modeling, configurable task logic, and architectural flexibility, MCSim provides researchers and practitioners with a powerful tool for optimizing MCS strategies while minimizing deployment costs and risks.
