android-use MCP

A community-built MCP server that allows AI agents to control an Android device via ADB. It supports taking screenshots, reading UI dumps, simulating taps and swipes, typing text, pressing keys, and launching applications. It operates locally via stdio or remotely via a secure HTTPS connector, enabling automation of mobile tasks through compatible AI clients like Claude Desktop or Cursor.
