Install replicant-mcp in Claude Code, Cursor or VS Code

Runs npx -y replicant-mcp on your machine. Read the scan report first; the gateway never runs local packages.

What the publisher says

From the replicant-mcp repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub

replicant-mcp

Let AI build, test, and debug your Android apps.

replicant-mcp is a Model Context Protocol server that gives AI assistants like Claude the ability to interact with your Android development environment. Build APKs, launch emulators, install apps, navigate UIs, and debug crashes—all through natural conversation.

Why replicant-mcp?

Features

Coming Soon

  • Custom build commands (project-specific overrides, auto-detect gradlew)
  • Video capture (start/stop recording, duration-based capture)

Quick Start

Prerequisites

  • Node.js 18+
  • Android SDK with adb and emulator in your PATH
  • An Android project with gradlew (for build tools)
node --version      # Should be 18+
adb --version       # Should show Android Debug Bridge version
emulator -version   # Should show Android emulator version

Installing prerequisites (macOS via Homebrew)

If you don't already have these tools, install them with Homebrew:

Node.js 18+

brew install node

Physical-device only — just adb, sufficient if you never run an emulator:

brew install --cask android-platform-tools

adb lands directly on your PATH; no further config needed.

Full Android SDK — needed for emulator workflows or building APKs via the gradle-* tools. Run the steps in order:

# 1. JDK — required by sdkmanager itself, and by the gradle-* tools
brew install --cask temurin@17

# 2. cmdline-tools (provides sdkmanager)
brew install --cask android-commandlinetools

# 3. Set ANDROID_HOME and create the directory BEFORE running sdkmanager,
#    otherwise sdkmanager has no install target.
export ANDROID_HOME="$HOME/Library/Android/sdk"
mkdir -p "$ANDROID_HOME"

# 4. Accept all SDK licenses first, then install packages.
#    `sdkmanager --install` aborts on unaccepted per-package licenses

Shortened. The full README is on GitHub.

Nothing above is checked by us. What we check is on the safety report.
