Implementation Reference
- src/espresso_mcp/server.py:365-406 (handler)The main handler function for the 'dump_current_activity' MCP tool. It uses 'adb shell dumpsys activity activities' to retrieve activity information, parses the output to extract the current resumed activity name, and returns it as a string. This is also the registration point via the @mcp.tool() decorator.
