daniele_dll · reddit · 2026-07-31
Android Remote Control MCP v1.10.0 has been released, enabling AI agents to control real apps on Android phones without cables or root access.
Key highlights of this update:
- Security Bypass: Upgraded the server to a first-class accessibility tool, solving the blank screen issue caused by apps flagging screens as 'sensitive' (like the GitHub app).
- Ecosystem & Security: Introduced a GSM-free build; added CORS support for browser-based MCP clients; and included Netty HTTP/2 fixes with security hardening.
