Android-MCP is a lightweight, open-source bridge between AI agents and Android devices. Running as an MCP server, it lets large-language-model agents perform real-world tasks such as app navigation, UI interaction and automated QA testing without relying on traditional computer-vision pipelines or preprogramed scripts.

✨ Features

• Native Android Integration
  Interact with UI elements via ADB and the Android Accessibility API: launch apps, tap, swipe, input text, and read view hierarchies.

• Bring Your Own LLM/VLM
  Works with any language model, no fine-tuned CV model or OCR pipeline required.

• Rich Toolset for Mobile Automation
  Pre-built tools for gestures, keystrokes, capture, device state, shell commands execution.

• Real-Time Interaction
  Typical latency between actions (e.g., two taps) ranges 2-4s depending on device specs and load.

Supported Operating Systems

• Android 10+

Installation

📦 Prerequisites

• Python 3.10+
• UIautomator2
• Android Emulator/ Android Device

🏁 Getting Started

1. Clone the repository

   git clone https://github.com/CursorTouch/Android-MCP.git
   cd Android-MCP

1. Install dependencies

   uv python install 3.10
   uv sync

1. Connect to the MCP server

2. Locate your Claude Desktop configuration file:

• Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

1. Add the following JSON to your Claude Desktop config:

  {
    "mcpServers": {
      "android-mcp": {
        "command": "path/to/uv",
        "args": [
          "--directory",
          "path/to/Android-MCP",
          "run",
          "main.py",
          "--emulator"
        ]
      }
    }
  }

Replace:

• path/to/uv with the actual path to your uv executable
• path/to/Android-MCP with the absolute path to where you have cloned this repo

NOTE: --emulator this is used to run in emulator, remove it to use actual device

1. Restart the Claude Desktop

Open your Claude Desktop, “android-mcp” should now appear as an integration.

For troubleshooting tips (log locations, common ADB issues), see the MCP docs.
