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.

Demo

Why replicant-mcp?

Without replicant-mcp	With replicant-mcp
"Run `./gradlew assembleDebug`, then `adb install`, then `adb shell am start`..."	"Build and run the app"
Copy-paste logcat output, lose context	AI reads filtered logs directly
Screenshot → describe UI → guess coordinates	AI sees accessibility tree, taps elements by text
5,000 tokens of raw Gradle output	50-token summary + details on demand

Features

Category	Capabilities
Build & Test	Build APKs/bundles, run unit and instrumented tests, list modules/variants/tasks, test regression detection with baseline comparison
Emulator	Create, start, stop, wipe emulators; save/load/delete snapshots
Device Control	List connected devices, select active device, query device properties
App Management	Install, uninstall, launch, stop apps; clear app data
Log Analysis	Filter logcat by package, tag, level, time
UI Automation	Accessibility-first element finding, spatial proximity search, tap, text input, screenshots
Diagnostics	Environment health checks via `replicant doctor`; structured logging with configurable level and format

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
#    (e.g. the Google APIs system image)
