MCP Server

AI agents can control your Android device through the MCP (Model Context Protocol) protocol.

The MCP server starts automatically with the app on port 7070. You can toggle it on/off in Settings.

Configuration

Add to your MCP settings (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "another": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://localhost:7070/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Stdio mode (for tools that support it):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "another": {
      "command": "another-mcp",
      "args": ["--scrcpy-server", "/path/to/scrcpy-server-v2.7"]
    }
  }
}
