What is the Phone MCP MCP server?

Phone mcp mcp server connects Phone MCP to AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. 🌟 A powerful MCP plugin that lets you control your Android phone with ease through ADB commands.

🌟 A powerful MCP plugin that lets you control your Android phone with ease through ADB commands.

Tools it exposes

Once connected, the assistant can call these 7 tools directly:

  • Communication — The Communication tool exposed by this server
  • interact_with_screen — The interact_with_screen tool exposed by this server
  • analyze_screen — The analyze_screen tool exposed by this server
  • create_contact — The create_contact tool exposed by this server
  • launch_app_activity — The launch_app_activity tool exposed by this server
  • launch_intent — The launch_intent tool exposed by this server
  • Output — The script outputs a JSON object with: - success: boolean indicating if the operation was successful - message: any output or error message from the command

Installing the phone mcp mcp server

The server is distributed via PyPI as phone-mcp, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.

Requirements

  • Python 3.x - ADB (Android Debug Bridge) installed and configured - Android device connected and authorized for ADB

Where it fits

Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Phone MCP sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Communication, interact_with_screen, analyze_screen among others — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools 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.
  • With 7 tools exposed, expect a noticeable bump in prompt size — disable it in projects that never use Phone MCP.
  • Maintained by hao-cyber, written in Python.
  • MCP clients ask for confirmation before each tool call by default. Keep that on while you learn what the phone 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 Phone MCP to MCP-compatible AI assistants such as Claude and Cursor, exposing 7 tools (Communication, interact_with_screen, analyze_screen, and more) that the assistant can call on your behalf. Instead of copying data back and forth by hand, the assistant works with Phone MCP directly.
