Overview

Android ADB MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows AI assistants to interact with Android devices via the Android Debug Bridge (ADB), facilitating automation in Android development and testing.

To use the server, add it to your MCP configuration file and ensure ADB is installed on your system. Restart your AI assistant to apply the new configuration.

  • Manage multiple Android devices - Execute shell commands on devices - Install/uninstall applications - Push/pull files between local and Android devices - Take screenshots and save or copy them - Smart device selection for connected devices
  1. Automating app installation and testing on multiple devices.
  2. Managing device files and applications remotely.
  3. Taking screenshots for documentation or testing purposes.

Add to your AI client

Use these steps to connect Android ADB MCP Server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "android-adb-mcp-server-landicefu": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-android-adb-mcp-server-landicefu"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "android-adb-mcp-server-landicefu": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-android-adb-mcp-server-landicefu"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "android-adb-mcp-server-landicefu": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-android-adb-mcp-server-landicefu"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "android-adb-mcp-server-landicefu": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-android-adb-mcp-server-landicefu"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "android-adb-mcp-server-landicefu": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-android-adb-mcp-server-landicefu"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "android-adb-mcp-server-landicefu": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-android-adb-mcp-server-landicefu"
