How to Set Up and Use Termux API Tools

Termux API Tools MCP Server is a Python-based MCP server that connects AI clients to Android devices via SSH through the Termux environment, enabling remote control of Android device features including call history access, SMS retrieval, phone dialing, and SMS sending. The server runs on the client machine (PC or Mac) and communicates with the Android device over a local network SSH connection into Termux.

Prerequisites

  • Android device with Termux installed from F-Droid (not Google Play)
  • Termux:API add-on installed on Android (from F-Droid)
  • OpenSSH server running inside Termux on the Android device (pkg install openssh)
  • Python environment on the MCP client machine (PC/Mac running the Claude client)
  • LAN connectivity between the client machine and the Android device
1

Set up Termux and SSH on Android

Install and configure Termux with SSH on your Android device so the MCP server can connect remotely.

# Run these commands inside Termux on your Android device
pkg update && pkg upgrade
pkg install openssh termux-api
# Set a password for SSH authentication
passwd
# Start the SSH daemon
sshd
# Find your device IP (connect to the same WiFi as your client machine)
ifconfig
2

Clone the MCP server repository

Clone the termux-api-tools-mcp-server repository to your client machine (not the Android device).

git clone https://github.com/hyhAsma/termux-api-tools-mcp-server.git
cd termux-api-tools-mcp-server
3

Install Python dependencies

Install the required Python packages on your client machine.

pip install -r requirements.txt
4

Configure SSH connection details

Set the four required SSH connection environment variables pointing to your Android device.

export TERMUX_SSH_HOST="192.168.1.x"   # Your Android device's local IP
export TERMUX_SSH_PORT="8022"            # Termux SSH default port
export TERMUX_SSH_USER="u0_a123"         # Your Termux username (run 'whoami' in Termux)
export TERMUX_SSH_PASSWORD="yourpassword"
5

Add to MCP client configuration

Register the server in your Claude Desktop or Cherry Studio MCP configuration.

      "command": "python",
      "args": ["/absolute/path/to/termux-api-tools-mcp-server/termux-api-tools-mcp-server.py"],

        "TERMUX_SSH_PASSWORD": "yourpassword"
      }
    }
  }
}

Prompts to try

Use these prompts after connecting to control your Android device through Claude.

- "Show me the last 10 calls on my Android phone"
- "Read my last 5 SMS messages and summarize them"
- "What phone information is available from my device?"
- "Send an SMS to +1234567890 saying: I'll be late by 10 minutes"

Troubleshooting Termux API Tools

SSH connection refused or timed out

Verify sshd is running in Termux by opening the Termux app and running 'sshd'. The default Termux SSH port is 8022, not 22. Confirm both devices are on the same WiFi network and the Android device IP has not changed (consider setting a static IP in your router's DHCP settings).

Termux API commands fail with permission errors

The Termux:API add-on must be installed from F-Droid and Android permissions must be granted. Open the Termux:API app on the device and ensure permissions for contacts, SMS, phone, and storage are granted in Android Settings → Apps → Termux:API → Permissions.

Phone call functionality fails or is unreliable

This is a known limitation documented by the project — phone call initiation can exhibit compatibility issues with certain Android versions. SMS and read operations are more reliable. Test SMS retrieval first to confirm the SSH connection and Termux API integration are working.
