Build, deploy, drive and debug Android apps: Gradle, emulators, adb, logcat, UI automation
Give your AI agent hands on Android. AndroidBuildMCP is an MCP server that lets any MCP client (Claude Code, Cursor, ...) build, deploy, drive and debug real Android apps: Gradle builds with readable errors, emulator management, adb deployment, logcat capture and full UI automation.
Once Androidbuild is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
Deploy — build_run compiles, installs and launches in one call. Install/uninstall/clear-data/app-info via adb, with the right device auto-selected when onlyText — heavy screens (e-book WebViews and the like) are capped and searchable with snapshot_ui { filter } instead of flooding the contextdoctor — Check SDK, adb, emulator, avdmanager, Java and connected devices; reports what is missingdiscover_projects — Find Android/Gradle projects under a pathlist_modules — List modules declared in settings.gradle(.kts)list_variants — List build variants of a moduleget_app_id — Read the applicationId of a moduleshow_gradle_config — Show Gradle, AGP, Kotlin and version-catalog entriessession_set_defaults — Set default project, module, variant, serial and appId for all later callssession_show_defaults — Show the current defaultssession_clear_defaults — Clear all defaults, or only the listed keysbuild_app — Build an APK; returns compact file:line compiler errorsdoctor — Check SDK, adb, emulator, avdmanager, Java and connected devices; reports what is missingdiscover_projects — Find Android/Gradle projects under a pathlist_modules — List modules declared in settings.gradle(.kts)list_variants — List build variants of a moduleget_app_id — Read the applicationId of a moduleshow_gradle_config — Show Gradle, AGP, Kotlin and version-catalog entriessession_set_defaults — Set default project, module, variant, serial and appId for all later callssession_show_defaults — Show the current defaultssession_clear_defaults — Clear all defaults, or only the listed keysbuild_app — Build an APK; returns compact file:line compiler errorsbuild_run — Build, install and launch in one calltest_app — Run JVM unit tests with a parsed pass/fail summaryCompare MCP servers by category, or browse hosted MCP servers if you prefer an endpoint over a local process.
Check the linked publisher documentation and your connected client's tool list. Names and availability can vary with the server version and account permissions.
