Android Remote Control MCP v1.10.0: Let AI Agents Drive Your Phone Apps Without Root
daniele_dll · reddit · 2026-07-31
The open-source project Android Remote Control MCP has released v1.10.0. Acting as an MCP server running on your phone, it allows AI agents to control native apps just like a human, with no cables or root required.
Key improvements in this release:
- Bypassing Sensitive Screens: By becoming a first-class accessibility tool, it fixes the issue where apps flagging screens as "sensitive" (like the GitHub app) were invisible to the agent.
- Signed Releases & Compatibility: Ships with properly signed APKs registered with Google, alongside a GMS-free build for devices without Google Mobile Services.
- Security & Networking: Adds CORS support for browser-based MCP clients, includes crucial security hardening, and applies the latest Netty HTTP/2 fixes.
The author demonstrated practical use cases, such as instructing the agent to open Skyscanner to search for flights, automating tedious app interactions seamlessly.
