another-android

A set of controls for operating an Android device from an AI agent, including connecting, viewing the screen, entering input, and performing gestures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to launch apps, tap buttons, enter text, swipe, run device commands, automate tests, and capture screenshots.
Why use it?
It provides a defined sequence for inspecting a device, taking actions, and checking the result instead of relying on unverified interactions.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

another-android scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 151 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Another - Android Device Control

You have access to an Android device through the Another MCP server. Use these tools to see what's on screen, interact with the device, and automate tasks.

Setup

The Another desktop app must be running with MCP Server enabled (on by default in Settings).

Add to your MCP settings (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "another": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "http://localhost:7070/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Workflow

Always follow this order:

  1. List devices to see what's available
  2. Connect to establish a control session
  3. Screenshot to see the current screen state
  4. Act using touch, text, buttons, swipe, etc.
  5. Screenshot again to verify the result
  6. Disconnect when done

Available Tools

another_send_scroll Scroll at a position with a given delta
another_swipe Swipe from one point to another (normalized 0.0-1.0 coordinates)

Apps & Shell

Tool What it does
another_launch_app Launch an app by package name (e.g. com.android.chrome)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
