Integrations

  • Provides tools for managing and editing Android application preferences, allowing users to view, toggle, and modify preferences on Android devices through the Android Debug Bridge (adb).

Android-Preference-Editor MCP Server

Overview

The Android-Preference-Editor MCP Server is a natural language interface designed for agentic applications to edit Android user preferences during app development. The implementation is based on the Android Preference Editor library. This server integrates seamlessly with MCP (Model Context Protocol) clients, enabling AI-driven workflows during Android app development. Using this MCP, you can give instructions like:

  • "Toggle the isVisited user preference"
  • "List the connected devices"
  • "What apps are installed on device?"
  • "Show me all the user preferences in the app"
  • "Add a lastTimeStamp user preference with the value of the current milliseconds since epoch"
