Tools & capabilities

Droidsight tools 31

  • mcp_android_vision_queryScreenshot, hierarchy, OCR, and element or template search. Its `elements` and `tap_element` actions avoid coordinate arithmetic entirely.
  • mcp_android_vision_streamStart, stop, or read the background H.264 stream.
  • mcp_android_get_view_hierarchyThe accessibility tree as structured JSON.
  • mcp_android_smart_waitBlock until an element appears, or time out.
  • mcp_android_input_actTap, type, key events, swipe, smart tap, and IME control.
  • mcp_android_tap_textScan for text and tap it the instant it appears, retrying until timeout. Avoids the miss between a screenshot and a tap.
  • mcp_android_run_flowRun a bounded, fully prevalidated sequence of safe actions.
  • mcp_android_record_gestureRecord raw touch input for a fixed duration.
  • mcp_android_play_gestureReplay a recorded gesture timeline.
  • mcp_android_app_manageLaunch, stop, list, install, and read crash logs. Uninstall, clear data, permission, enable, and disable additionally require `confirm_destructive`.
