Android MCP Server

by martingeidobler Your server? Claim it
local only

Android runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 173 installs a week from npm. Last commit 19 Mar 2026.

Control Android devices and emulators via ADB — screenshots, UI automation, and logcat.

What the code does

We read the source, 22 h ago · rules 995398eba69f

Capabilities

What this server is able to do. For an MCP server this is often the job itself — a terminal server runs commands because that is what it is for. Listed so you know what you are plugging in, not as an accusation.

Runs an external command src/adb.ts:97
    const proc = spawn(this.adbPath, args, { stdio: ["pipe", "pipe", "pipe"] });

Is this your server and something here is wrong? Tell us — corrections are free and do not require a plan.

This code can reach further than it looks

We found places where it runs commands, builds paths or queries from values it is given. None of that is a flaw by itself — it becomes one when the code changes, and code changes quietly between releases. We re-read it on every one.

Android — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for Android?
Android runs on your own machine over stdio — there is no network address to reach, so uptime cannot be measured for it by anyone. What can be measured is adoption: the npm package android-mcp-server was installed 173 times last week.
How do I connect Android?
Copy the ready config from this page. We generate it for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor and VS Code, each in the form that client actually reads. It runs locally, so the command pulls android-mcp-server straight from npm; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use Android?
The npm package android-mcp-server was installed 173 times in the last week. Week over week that is -1%. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is Android open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in TypeScript, 69 stars on GitHub and 1 open issue. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
