MCP Android Agent

This project provides an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for automating Android devices using uiautomator2. It's designed to be easily plugged into AI agents like GitHub Copilot Chat, Claude, or Open Interpreter to control Android devices through natural language.

Quick Demo

Requirements

  • Python 3.13 or higher

  • Android Debug Bridge (adb) installed and in PATH

  • Connected Android device with USB debugging enabled

  • uiautomator2 compatible Android device

Features

  • Start, stop, and manage apps by package name

  • Retrieve installed apps and current foreground app

  • Tap, swipe, scroll, drag, and perform UI interactions

  • Get device info, screen resolution, battery status, and more

  • Capture screenshots or last toast messages

  • Programmatically unlock, wake, or sleep the screen

  • Clear app data and wait for activities

  • Includes a health check and adb diagnostic tool

Use Cases

Perfect for:

  • AI agents that need to interact with real devices

  • Remote device control setups

  • Automated QA tools

  • Android bot frameworks

  • UI testing and automation

  • Device management and monitoring

Installation

1. Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/nim444/mcp-android.git cd mcp-android

2. Create and activate virtual environment

# Using uv (https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) uv venv source .venv/bin/activate # On Windows: .venv\\Scripts\\activate

3. Install dependencies

uv pip install

Running the Server

Option 1: Using uvicorn (Recommended)

uvicorn server:app --factory --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000

Option 2: Using MCP stdio (For AI agent integration)

python server.py

Usage

An MCP client is needed to use this server. The Claude Desktop app is an example of an MCP client. To use this server with Claude Desktop:

Locate your Claude Desktop configuration file

  • Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json

  • macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

Add the Android MCP server configuration to the mcpServers section

{ "mcpServers": { "mcp-android": { "type": "stdio", "command": "bash", "args": [ "-c", "cd /path/to/mcp-adb && source .venv/bin/activate && python -m server" ] } } }

Replace /path/to/mcp-adb with the absolute path to where you cloned this repository. For example: /Users/username/Projects/mcp-adb

Using with VS Code

You can also use this MCP server with VS Code's agent mode (requires VS Code 1.99 or newer). To set up:

  1. Create a .vscode/mcp.json file in your workspace:

{ "servers": { "mcp-android": { "type": "stdio", "command": "bash", "args": [ "-c", "cd /path/to/mcp-adb && source .venv/bin/activate && python -m server" ] } } }

Replace /path/to/mcp-adb with the absolute path to where you cloned this repository.

After adding the configuration, you can manage the server using:

  • Command Palette → MCP: List Servers to view and manage configured servers

  • Command Palette → MCP: Start Server to start the server

  • The server's tools will be available in VS Code's agent mode chat

Vscode

UI Inspector

The project includes support for uiauto.dev, a powerful UI inspection tool for viewing and analyzing your device's interface structure.

  1. Install the UI inspector:

uv pip install uiautodev

  1. Start the inspector:

uiauto.dev

  1. Open your browser and navigate to https://uiauto.dev
