If you want to test mobile with UFT you need to have a mobile center server installed.
The Mobile Center Connector is not used by UFT, it's just a way to connect mobile devices to the MC server without physically connecting the device to the server machine. You should think of the connector as a way to extend the MC server. UFT connects to the server and can see all devices connected to the server (either physically or via connector) so if you don't have a server machine the connector has no meaning.
You can install the MC sever on a virtual machine if this helps.

@compiler AFAIK MC is only supported on linux (I may be wrong) in which case you can install it on a virtual machine on your local pc but not directly on the windows pc. – Motti Aug 16 '16 at 08:03
You can install MC all in one which includes server + connector. It's supported for both Windows & Linux. There is a trial version so you can test it with UFT.

If you want to try out Mobile testing with UFT, there is a free resource that you can use: https://marketplace.microfocus.com/appdelivery/content/uft-mobile-add-in-for-local-device
More info from Micro Focus marketplace:
"This “add-in” acts as a connector between UFT and the mobile devices connected directly to the UFT machine. In just a few steps, UFT users can start designing and running mobile app and web tests on one local mobile device at a time without purchasing an additional license. Whether you work in Retail, Telecom, Finance, or other adjacent industries, the UFT Mobile Add-in for Local Devices is a great fit for testers who need to:
- Execute their omnichannel content strategy using the same script for desktop and mobile web content
- Support mobile testing in organisations that do not have a lab management solution in place
- Run mobile tests without needing a new tool for mobile only"
