1	# Android MCP Server
2
3	An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides programmatic control over
4	Android devices through ADB (Android Debug Bridge). This server exposes
5	various Android device management capabilities that can be accessed by MCP
6	clients like [Claude desktop](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/quickstart/user)
7	and Code editors
8	(e.g. [Cursor](https://docs.cursor.com/context/model-context-protocol))

10	## Features
11
12	- 🔧 ADB Command Execution
13	- 📸 Device Screenshot Capture
14	- 🎯 UI Layout Analysis
15	- 📱 Device Package Management
16
17	## Prerequisites
18
19	- Python 3.x
20	- ADB (Android Debug Bridge) installed and configured
21	- Android device or emulator (not tested)
22
23	## Installation
24
25	1. Clone the repository:
26
27	```bash
28	git clone https://github.com/minhalvp/android-mcp-server.git
29	cd android-mcp-server
30	```
31
32	2. Install dependencies:
33	This project uses [uv](https://github.com/astral-sh/uv) for project
34	management via various methods of
35	[installation](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/).
36
37	```bash
38	uv python install 3.11
39	uv sync
40	```
41
42	## Configuration
43
44	The server supports flexible device configuration with multiple usage scenarios.
45
46	### Device Selection Modes
47
48	1. Automatic Selection (Recommended for single device)
49
50	- No configuration file needed
51	- Automatically connects to the only connected device
52	- Perfect for development with a single test device
53
54	2. Manual Device Selection
55
56	- Use when you have multiple devices connected
57	- Specify exact device in configuration file
58
59	### Configuration File (Optional)
60
61	The configuration file (`config.yaml`) is optional. If not present, the server will automatically select the device if only one is connected.
62
63	#### For Automatic Selection
64
65	Simply ensure only one device is connected and run the server - no configuration needed!
66
67	#### For Manual Selection
68
69	1. Create a configuration file:
70
71	```bash
72	cp config.yaml.example config.yaml
73	```
74
75	2. Edit `config.yaml` and specify your device:
76
77	```yaml
78	device:
79	name: "your-device-serial-here" # Device identifier from 'adb devices'
80	```
81
82	For auto-selection, you can use any of these methods:
83
84	```yaml
85	device:
86	name: null # Explicit null (recommended)
87	# name: "" # Empty string
88	# name: # Or leave empty/comment out
89	```
90
91	### Finding Your Device Serial
92
93	To find your device identifier, run:
94
95	```bash
96	adb devices
97	```
98
99	Example output:
100
101	```
102	List of devices attached
103	13b22d7f device
104	emulator-5554 device
105	```
106
107	Use the first column value (e.g., `13b22d7f` or `emulator-5554`) as the device name.
108
109	### Usage Scenarios
110
111	\| Scenario \| Configuration Required \| Behavior \|
112	\|----------\|----------------------\|----------\|
113	\| Single device connected \| None \| ✅ Auto-connects to the device \|
114	\| Multiple devices, want specific one \| `config.yaml` with `device.name` \| ✅ Connects to specified device \|
115	\| Multiple devices, no config \| None \| ❌ Shows error with available devices \|
116	\| No devices connected \| N/A \| ❌ Shows "no devices" error \|
117
118	Note: If you have multiple devices connected and don't specify which one to use, the server will show an error message listing all available devices.
119
120	## Usage
121
122	An MCP client is needed to use this server. The Claude Desktop app is an example
123	of an MCP client. To use this server with Claude Desktop:
124
125	1. Locate your Claude Desktop configuration file:
126
127	- Windows: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json`
128	- macOS: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json`
129
130	2. Add the Android MCP server configuration to the `mcpServers` section:
131
132	```json
133	{
134	"mcpServers": {
135	"android": {
136	"command": "path/to/uv",
137	"args": ["--directory", "path/to/android-mcp-server", "run", "server.py"]
138	}
139	}
140	}
141	```
142
143	Replace:
144
145	- `path/to/uv` with the actual path to your `uv` executable
146	- `path/to/android-mcp-server` with the absolute path to where you cloned this
147	repository
148
149	<https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/c45bbc17-f698-43e7-85b4-f1b39b8326a8>
