An MCP server that enables LLMs to automate Android mobile devices through structured UI interaction.
Overview
Mobile MCP is a specialized MCP server designed to bridge the gap between AI language models and mobile device automation. It allows LLMs to interact with Android devices without relying on visual inputs like screenshots, instead using structured UI dumps for more reliable automation. Currently supporting Android with iOS planned for future release, it requires Android Studio and platform tools for setup.
