Install android-use in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y @ghostfacemodz/android-use on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

android-use

Let AI agents see and control an Android phone over ADB, with safety guards built in.

android-use is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Any MCP-capable app (Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Hermes Agent and others) can use it to take screenshots, read the on-screen UI, tap, swipe, type, press keys and launch apps on a real Android device. Since v0.3 it can also run as a remote connector: a private https://…/mcp URL you paste into Claude.ai, ChatGPT, Cursor, LibreChat, Open WebUI or LM Studio.

npx -y @ghostfacemodz/android-use          # local (stdio) MCP server
npx -y @ghostfacemodz/android-use setup    # guided setup as a remote connector (URL + key)

Get started in 2 minutes

With a computer (Windows, macOS or Linux):

  1. Install Node.js 18+ and adb (winget install Google.PlatformTools · brew install android-platform-tools · sudo apt install adb).
  2. On the phone, turn on Developer options → USB debugging (or Wireless debugging), plug it in and accept the prompt. (Phone setup)
  3. Run:
npx -y @ghostfacemodz/android-use setup

It checks adb, finds your phone (and helps you adb pair / adb connect if needed), creates your own secret token, starts the server, and offers to open a public https:// link through a free Cloudflare quick tunnel (it downloads cloudflared for you). It then prints your connector URL, key and copy-paste configs.

  1. Paste the URL into your AI app (Use as a connector). Next time just run npx -y @ghostfacemodz/android-use start --tunnel.

With only the phone (no PC, no root): install Termux and run one command. See docs/PHONE-ONLY.md.

Just want a local MCP server for Claude Desktop / Cursor? Skip setup and use the stdio configs in Add it to your MCP client.

Formerly android-adb-mcp. The tools, environment variables and behaviour are unchanged; only the package name, binary name (android-use) and MCP server name changed.

⚠️ Read Safety before you connect a phone you care about. An AI with this tool can do anything you could do by tapping the screen.

What it does

android-use is a small TypeScript wrapper around the adb command-line tool. It talks to your MCP client over stdio (default) or Streamable HTTP (--http, setup, start) and has two runtime dependencies (@modelcontextprotocol/sdk and zod).

Example: "Open YouTube and search for lo-fi beats."

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.
