🤖 Android MCP

Android-MCP is a lightweight, open-source tool that bridge between AI agents and Android devices. Running as an MCP server, it lets LLM agents perform real-world tasks such as app navigation, UI interaction and automated QA testing without relying on traditional computer-vision pipelines or preprogramed scripts.

✨ Features

• Native Android Integration
  Interact with UI elements via ADB and the Android Accessibility API: launch apps, tap, swipe, input text, and read view hierarchies.

• Bring Your Own LLM/VLM
  Works with any language model, no fine-tuned CV model or OCR pipeline required.

• Rich Toolset for Mobile Automation
  Pre-built tools for gestures, keystrokes, capture, device state, shell commands execution.

• Real-Time Interaction
  Typical latency between actions (e.g., two taps) ranges 2-4s depending on device specs and load.

Supported Operating Systems

• Android 10+

Installation

📦 Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+
• UIautomator2
• Android 10+ (Emulator/ Android Device)
• A computer to run MCP server

🏁 Getting Started

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/CursorTouch/Android-MCP.git
   cd Android-MCP

2. Install dependencies

   uv python install 3.10
   uv sync

3. Connect to the MCP server

4. Locate your Claude Desktop configuration file:

• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

2. Add the following JSON to your Claude Desktop config:

  {
    "mcpServers": {
      "android-mcp": {
        "command": "path/to/uv",
        "args": [
          "--directory",
          "path/to/Android-MCP",
          "run",
          "main.py",
          "--emulator"
        ]
      }
    }
  }

Replace:

• path/to/uv with the actual path to your uv executable
• path/to/Android-MCP with the absolute path to where you have cloned this repo

NOTE: --emulator this is used to run in emulator, remove it to use actual device

3. Restart the Claude Desktop

Restart your Claude Desktop. You should see "android-mcp" listed as an available integration. That's it, now you're ready to start controlling your Android device with natural language.

For troubleshooting tips (log locations, common ADB issues), see the MCP docs.
