How to Set Up and Use DroidMind
DroidMind is a Python-based MCP server that enables AI assistants to control and interact with Android devices via ADB (Android Debug Bridge). It exposes a comprehensive set of tools for device management, app installation and control, file operations, UI automation, shell command execution, and system analysis including logcat and crash log retrieval. Developers use DroidMind to automate Android testing, debug apps through natural language, and perform remote device management directly from their AI coding assistant.
Prerequisites
- Python 3.13 (note: Python 3.14 is not supported)
- uv package manager installed (provides the uvx command)
- ADB (Android Debug Bridge) installed and accessible in your system PATH
- An Android device or emulator with USB debugging enabled in Developer Options
- An MCP-compatible client such as Claude Desktop or Cursor
Install ADB and Enable USB Debugging
Install Android platform tools which include ADB. Then enable Developer Options on your Android device (tap Build Number 7 times in Settings > About Phone) and enable USB Debugging.
# macOS (via Homebrew):
brew install android-platform-tools
# Ubuntu/Debian:
sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb
# Verify ADB is working:
adb devicesInstall uv Package Manager
DroidMind is run via uvx, which is part of the uv Python package manager. Install uv if you don't have it already.
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh
# Verify installation:
uvx --versionConnect Your Android Device
Connect your Android device via USB and confirm ADB can see it. Approve the USB debugging prompt on the device.
adb devices
# Expected output:
# List of devices attached
# your_device_serial deviceConfigure Claude Desktop
Add DroidMind to your Claude Desktop configuration. The server runs directly from GitHub via uvx in stdio transport mode.

}Or Run in SSE Mode for Web Clients
For clients that support SSE transport, run DroidMind as a standalone server. It starts on localhost:4256 by default.

Natural language commands that DroidMind can execute on connected Android devices.
- "List all connected Android devices and show their properties"
- "Take a screenshot of my Pixel and show it to me"
- "Show me the recent crash logs from my device"
- "Install the APK at ~/Downloads/myapp.apk on the connected device"
- "Tap the 'Next' button on the current screen"Troubleshooting DroidMind
adb devices shows 'unauthorized' instead of 'device'
Check your Android device screen for a USB debugging authorization prompt and tap 'Allow'. If the prompt does not appear, revoke USB debugging authorizations in Developer Options and reconnect the USB cable.
uvx fails to install DroidMind with Python version error
DroidMind requires exactly Python 3.13 — Python 3.14+ is not supported. Ensure uv uses Python 3.13 by running: uvx --python 3.13 --from git+https://github.com/hyperb1iss/droidmind droidmind --transport stdio
Commands fail with 'ADB not found' error
ADB must be in your system PATH. Add the platform-tools directory to PATH in your shell profile (e.g., export PATH=$PATH:~/Library/Android/sdk/platform-tools on macOS). Restart your shell and verify with 'which adb'.
