Clousd: real Android phones in the cloud, for AI agents
Every agent framework can tap a phone. Almost none has a phone worth tapping.
Clousd is the phone. Each device is a full Android system built as a specific real model, Pixel to Galaxy to Xiaomi, with Google Play inside and its own network exit. Give it a task in plain words and Clousd's phone agent does the steps and answers; or drive the screen yourself, step by step. Apps see a phone, not an emulator, so your agent sees the screens a person sees.
This repository is the public side of it: the OpenAPI description, the Python client, the MCP server and the skill for coding agents.
Two ways to use a phone
Give it the goal. POST /v1/runs {"task": "...", "device": "..."}, c.run(...) in Python, the run tool over MCP.
Clousd's agent looks at the screen, taps and types until the goal is reached, and finishes with an answer - plus a
replay of every step, and JSON in your schema when you ask for it. One call gives the same task to up to 32 phones.
Saved logins are typed on the phone without your agent or the model seeing them.
Drive it yourself. observe returns a fresh screenshot with a number on every element; act taps an element, types,
swipes, opens apps and links, and waits until the screen settles. Snapshots reset a phone to a saved state in seconds.

Quick start
MCP
Hosted, nothing to install: https://api.clousd.com/mcp. Apps with connectors (Claude.ai, ChatGPT…) sign in with
OAuth - just add the URL. Other clients send the key in the header:
{
"mcpServers": {
"clousd": { "url": "https://api.clousd.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer cl_live_..." } }
}
}Local: pip install clousd-mcp, then {"command": "clousd-mcp", "env": {"CLOUSD_API_KEY": "cl_live_..."}}.
Tools: account, devices, run, run_status, answer, observe, act, credentials, schedules (mcp/).
Coding agents learn the workflow from the skill:
npx skills add https://github.com/Clousd-Android/clousd-sdk --skill clousdPython
pip install clousd
export CLOUSD_API_KEY=cl_live_...from clousd import Clousd
c = Clousd()
run = c.run("Open Settings and tell me the Android version", device="dev_04f2", wait=True)
print(run.status, run.answer) # completed Android 15
phone = c.device("dev_04f2") # or step by step
phone.open_app("com.android.chrome")
phone.tap_text("Search")
phone.type("weather in Berlin")
phone.key("enter")
phone.wait_text("Berlin", timeout=30)More in python/.
Plain HTTPS
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer cl_live_..." https://api.clousd.com/v1/devices
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer cl_live_..." -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

Route | Purpose |
| a task in plain words on |
| runs of the key; status, answer, structured_output, the card it waits on |
| live events (Server-Sent Events): status, step, plan, card, answer, end |
| every step with its screen |
| answer a question or permission, talk to the running agent, stop it |
| tasks at a time on days of the week |
| saved logins; values are never returned |
| events to your server, signed with your secret |
| phones of the key and their lifecycle; |
| the screen, step by step |
| the phone's network exit |
| ADB over a relay: one-time code, IP allow-list, expiry |
| plan, phones, money left and warnings to show the user |
Keys have a scope (read or read & write) and an explicit list of phones; keys travel only in the Authorization
header. Limits: 120 requests a minute per key and device, 600 a minute per key across devices, 60 a minute for
everything else; 429 comes with Retry-After. Errors are JSON: {"error": "short_code", "message": "what happened"}.

Upgrading from 1.1
1.2 removes saved device states. /v1/devices/{name}/snapshots, /profiles and /worlds answer 410; to start from a
clean phone call POST /v1/devices/{name}/reset (apps and data are wiped, the model and Android stay the same). Python:
device.reset() replaces snapshots(), save_snapshot(), restore() and clone().
Upgrading from 0.3
1.0 gives phones goals instead of scripts. /v1/recipes, /v1/groups, /v1/accounts, /v1/texts and the
device recipe / record routes answer 410 with where to go instead: tasks are POST /v1/runs, logins are
/v1/credentials. MCP: run / run_status / answer / credentials / schedules replace fleet, recipe,
resources, network, snapshots and inspect. Keys in the URL are no longer accepted.
