Getting Started with Android Physical Devices

We support physical Android devices like Google Pixel, Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei, etc running with this MCP. This means that you can control an Android device by prompting the agent to take action on your behalf, like launching the YouTube app.

Prerequisites

You may use the MCP server on either MacOS, Linux and Windows. The only requirements are:

  • Android Platform Tools (download)
    • Make sure $ANDROID_HOME is set properly (alt, see providing path)
  • Developer Mode is enabled on your physical device.More here.
  • USB Debugging enabled
  • Physical device connected to your machine with USB data transfer mode.

Troubleshooting

  • Make sure $ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools/adb devices shows at least one device.
