What the code does

We read the source, 2 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.

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.

Connect this server

This server runs on your own machine — install it with the package manager and the client starts it for you. Package name taken from the official registry entry.

run in your terminal
claude mcp add nexus-android -- uvx nexus-android
~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "nexus-android": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "nexus-android"
      ]
    }
  }
}

args = ["nexus-android"]

  "mcpServers": {
    "nexus-android": {

}

Optional settings from the registry entry, left out of the block above: NEXUS_ANDROID_ADB (Full path to adb when it is not on the PATH), NEXUS_ANDROID_SERIAL (Force a device by serial number or ip:port), NEXUS_ANDROID_KEEP_AWAKE (0 turns off the keep-screen-on session while the agent works), NEXUS_ANDROID_AWAKE_IDLE (Seconds without any gesture before the original screen timeout is restored and the screen turned off), NEXUS_ANDROID_ADB_DOWNLOAD (0 never downloads Google's Platform Tools when adb is missing or the server's own copy is outdated), NEXUS_ANDROID_UPDATE (0 turns off the daily update check (PyPI, Platform Tools manifest)), NEXUS_ANDROID_MANAGED (Set by a plugin that pins the server version (who updates it); the server then prepares no update).

NexusAndroid — questions

Answers built from our own checks of this server.

Why is there no uptime for NexusAndroid?
NexusAndroid 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 pypi package nexus-android was installed 6 537 times last week.
How do I connect NexusAndroid?
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 nexus-android straight from pypi; nothing to host, nothing to sign up for.
How many people use NexusAndroid?
The pypi package nexus-android was installed 6 537 times in the last week. We show installs rather than GitHub stars on purpose: a star is a bookmark, an install is someone actually running it.
Is NexusAndroid open source?
Yes — it is published under the MIT licence, written in Python and 2 stars on GitHub. The source link is on this page, so you can read exactly what it does with your data before you connect it.
