Phone

Phone is an MCP server that connects AI assistants to physical Android devices via the Android Debug Bridge (ADB). Designed for developers, QA testers, and automation engineers, it allows LLMs such as Claude and Cursor to directly interact with mobile hardware. Through this server, AI agents can inspect the mobile screen layout, launch applications, dispatch touch taps and swipe gestures, input text, and monitor UI state changes until specific views appear or disappear. It also provides programmatic control over native communication features, allowing models to place phone calls, capture incoming or outgoing SMS threads, and automate contact creation directly through the device interface. In addition, the server supports hardware and multimedia utilities, including taking screenshots, recording screen activity, querying nearby points of interest with phone numbers, and launching arbitrary Android activities via intent components. By exposing Android device APIs to language models, it turns mobile hardware into an automatable testing and operational environment.

How to install and configure Phone

1. Ensure Python 3.7 or higher, Android ADB tools, and an Android device with USB debugging enabled are connected via USB. 2. Install phone-mcp using uvx, uv pip install phone-mcp, or pip install phone-mcp. 3. Add the server to your MCP configuration file (such as ~/.cursor/mcp.json for Cursor or your Claude Desktop configuration). 4. If using uvx, configure the server entry as follows: json { "mcpServers": { "phone-mcp": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["phone-mcp"] } } } 5. Alternatively, if installed with pip, specify the absolute path to your Python interpreter: json { "mcpServers": { "phone-mcp": { "command": "/usr/local/bin/python", "args": ["-m", "phone_mcp"] } } } 6. Save the configuration and restart your client to enable the server.

What you can do with Phone

• Automate mobile application workflows by locating buttons by text or ID and executing tap, swipe, and text-input gestures. - Initiate cellular phone calls and send SMS notifications programmatically when external conditions or triggers are met. - Monitor mobile interfaces during automated QA tests until expected UI elements appear or loading indicators disappear. - Capture screenshots and record screen sessions directly from the Android device for bug reporting and inspection. - Launch target Android activities and applications using package names or explicit component intents during development sessions.
