Android MCP Server Overview

The martingeidobler/android-mcp-server MCP server exposes Android device and emulator control through ADB. It lets an MCP client inspect UI trees, capture screenshots, perform gestures, launch or install apps, retrieve device details, and read logcat output. Use it for interactive UI testing, smoke checks, bug reproduction, and app diagnostics when Android SDK platform-tools are available locally. It supports multiple devices by allowing a target device ID and does not require changes to the tested application.
