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.
