## What it does

Droidline links your AI coding agent to an Android device running Android 9 or later. The tool executes interface taps and captures screenshots directly from the mobile display. No USB cable is needed. Communication stays encrypted and runs over local Wi-Fi or remote network relays.

The host machine runs `droidline serve` on `localhost:8780`. You install the companion APK on the phone, then pair devices with a QR scan or a six-digit code. If hardware is unavailable, the release includes `droidline-fakephone` for local practice.

Without the `droidline` binary on your system `PATH`, the MCP server fails immediately. The mobile client requires accessibility permissions alongside unrestricted battery usage. Android 13 devices also mandate granting access to restricted settings.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

**Install**
- The MCP registry has no launch command for it: see the repository README

## When to use it
- test mobile applications on physical Android hardware
- automate multi-app login flows that handle verification codes
- let an AI agent view and interact with a phone screen
- evaluate UI automations using the bundled `droidline-fakephone` simulator

## Example prompts
- Open `dev.droidline.demo` on the connected phone and tap the button labeled "Log in".
- Take a screenshot of the current mobile screen and save it to `shot.png`.
- Enter user@example.com into the input field with ID `email` and check the greeting text.
