✨ DroidMind 🤖

Control Android devices with AI through the Model Context Protocol

DroidMind is a powerful bridge between AI assistants and Android devices, enabling control, debugging, and system analysis through natural language. By implementing the Model Context Protocol (MCP), DroidMind allows AI models to directly interact with Android devices via ADB in a secure, structured way. When used as part of an agentic coding workflow, DroidMind can enable your assistant to build and debug with your device directly in the loop.

💫 Features

• 📱 Device Control - Connect to devices over USB or TCP/IP, run shell commands, reboot
• 📊 System Analysis - Inspect device properties, view hardware info, analyze system logs
• 🔍 File System Access - Browse directory contents and manage files on devices
• 📷 Visual Diagnostics - Capture device screenshots for analysis and debugging
• 📦 App Management - Install, uninstall, start, stop, and clear app data on connected devices
• 🔄 Multi-Device Support - Control and switch between multiple connected devices
• 👆 UI Automation - Interact with the device through taps, swipes, text input, and key presses
• 🔍 App Inspection - View app manifests, shared preferences, and app-specific logs
• 🔒 Security Framework - Protect devices with comprehensive command validation
• 💬 MCP Integration - Seamless connection to Claude, Cursor, Cline, and more

🚀 Installation

📋 Prerequisites

• Python 3.13 or higher
• Android device with USB debugging enabled
• ADB (Android Debug Bridge) installed and in PATH
• UV package manager (recommended for dependency management)
• For network control: Android device with ADB over TCP/IP enabled

🔮 Quick Start

Run the DroidMind server

Run DroidMind as a server to connect AI assistants via MCP:

Using with AI Assistants

1. Start DroidMind in SSE mode:
   droidmind --transport sse
2. Connect your AI assistant using the MCP protocol URI:
   sse://localhost:4256/sse
3. The AI can now control your Android devices through natural language!

• "Connect to my phone at 192.168.1.100 and check its battery status"
• "Take a screenshot of my Pixel and show me what's currently on screen"
• "Check the available storage space on my device"
• "Show me the ANR traces and crash logs from my device"
• "Look at recent logs and tell me if there are any errors"
• "Install this APK file on my device and tell me if it was successful"
• "Show me a list of all installed apps on my phone"
• "Reboot my device into recovery mode"

🔒 Security Features

DroidMind includes a comprehensive security framework to protect your devices while still allowing AI assistants to be expressive:

• Command Validation: All shell commands are validated against an allowlist of safe commands
• Risk Assessment: Commands are categorized by risk level (SAFE, LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, CRITICAL)
• Command Sanitization: Input is sanitized to prevent command injection attacks
• Protected Paths: System directories and critical paths are protected from modification
• Comprehensive Logging: All commands are logged with their risk level for auditing
• Suspicious Pattern Detection: Commands with potentially dangerous patterns are blocked
• ADB Command Security: Special handling for ADB-specific commands with proper async validation

The security system is designed to be permissive enough to allow common operations while preventing destructive actions. High-risk commands will display warnings to users before execution, and critical operations are blocked entirely without explicit override.

💻 Development

DroidMind uses UV for dependency management and development workflows. UV is a fast, reliable Python package manager and resolver.
