What is the Android MCP MCP server?

Android MCP becomes available to MCP clients through the android mcp mcp server. An MCP server that provides control over Android devices through ADB. Offers device screenshot capture, UI layout analysis, package management, and ADB command execution capabilities.

What Android MCP does

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that provides programmatic control over Android devices through ADB (Android Debug Bridge). This server exposes various Android device management capabilities that can be accessed by MCP clients like Claude desktop and Code editors (e.g. Cursor)

Key capabilities

  • 🔧 ADB Command Execution
  • 📸 Device Screenshot Capture
  • 🎯 UI Layout Analysis
  • 📱 Device Package Management

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 3 tools directly:

  • Windows — %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
  • macOS — ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
  • Scenario — Configuration Required

Installing the android mcp mcp server

Setup follows the standard MCP pattern: clone or install the server, then register it in your client's configuration file and restart the client. The configuration snippets on this page cover Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor.

Requirements

  • Python 3.x - ADB (Android Debug Bridge) installed and configured - Android device or emulator (not tested)

Where it fits

Browser automation servers are the ones people reach for when a site has no API — the assistant drives a real page instead of guessing at endpoints. Android MCP sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Windows, macOS, Scenario — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other browser automation servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.

Practical notes

  • This server runs locally, so it operates with whatever access your machine and its credentials already have. Scope that deliberately rather than by default.
  • Written in Python.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the android mcp mcp server actually does with your data.
  • Every entry in this directory is reviewed by hand before it goes live, and details are checked against the project's own documentation.

Frequently asked questions

It connects Android MCP to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 3 tools (Windows, macOS, Scenario) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Android MCP directly.
