Android Tools MCP — AI skill for Claude Code

Android Tools MCP

An Android Studio plugin that exposes the built-in Gemini agent tools as an [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server — so any AI coding tool can use them.

[!WARNING] This plugin uses **undocumented internal APIs** from Android Studio's Gemini plugin. These APIs can change or break at any time without notice. It is **not affiliated with or endorsed by Google**. Use at your own risk — best suited for experimentation and personal workflows, not production CI pipelines.

[!NOTE] Requires **Android Studio 2025.3 – 2026.1** (build 253–261) with the Gemini plugin enabled (bundled by default) and **Python 3.7+** for the bridge script.

Quick start

**1. Install the plugin**

Download the ZIP from [Releases](https://github.com/amsavarthan/android-tools-mcp/releases) and install via **Settings → Plugins → Install Plugin from Disk** in Android Studio.

**2. Download the bridge script**

Save [`android-studio-mcp.py`](https://github.com/amsavarthan/android-tools-mcp/blob/main/scripts/android-studio-mcp.py) somewhere on your machine.

**3. Connect to your favourite tool** (see [below](#connect-to-your-favourite-tool))

**4. Open an Android project** in Android Studio — the MCP server starts automatically.

Connect to your favourite tool

[!IMPORTANT] Always use **absolute paths** (e.g., `/Users/you/android-studio-mcp.py`), not `~`. Most MCP clients don't expand the tilde.
