README

android-lab

A virtual Android you can drive from ADB, [Movicom](https://github.com/andycufari/movicom) and AI agents. One command to boot it, see it and poke at it.

virtual Android  ->  ADB  ->  Movicom  ->  MCP / APX  ->  your agent

**Built for [APX](https://github.com/agentprojectcontext/apx) and your super-agent.** Register it once as an MCP and your agent has a throwaway phone it can install on, tap through and break — without ever touching a real device. It works just as well from [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code), Codex, OpenCode, Cursor or a plain shell; see **[AGENTS.md](AGENTS.md)** for the autonomous contract.

npx android-lab doctor    # what can run on this machine
npx android-lab setup     # install whatever is missing
npx android-lab start     # boot it, waiting for the real boot to finish
npx android-lab screen    # see it and drive it with mouse and keyboard

Or install it: `npm i -g android-lab`, then `android-lab start`.

![android-lab doctor](docs/doctor.svg)

`doctor` probes the host rather than guessing from the OS name, and says which backend it picked and why — including whether APX and Movicom are around.

Run as many as your RAM allows; ports and serials are handed out automatically.

Commands

Command	What it does
`doctor`	Which backend can run here, what is missing, how to fix it
`setup [--yes]`	Install the backend and create the device. Asks a few questions; `--yes` skips them
`start [--window]`	Boot it. Reports success only at `sys.boot_completed=1`
`stop`	Clean shutdown. Never wipes data
`status [--json]`	State, version, visible devices
`list`	Every device you have created
`screen [--shot]`	scrcpy to view and drive, or a sing
