Server Configuration

Describes the environment variables required to run the server.

NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
ADB_PATHNoPath to adb executable for Steam Frame Lepton/Android work (e.g., %LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\Sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe).
AAPT_PATHNoPath to aapt executable for APK metadata inspection (e.g., %LOCALAPPDATA%\Android\Sdk\build-tools\<version>\aapt.exe).

Instructions

Guidance the server publishes about itself, which clients place ahead of the tool catalog so the model reads it before choosing anything.

This server publishes no instructions, or was last inspected before Glama recorded them.
