Ghost in the Droid

🅲 Hello World — MCP + Claude Code

Claude Code drives the phone. Type in the TUI, watch it act. This is the exact run from the video above — no scripted mockup, one prompt end to end.

Prerequisites

Section titled “Prerequisites”

Step 1 — Summon the ghost into Claude Code

Section titled “Step 1 — Summon the ghost into Claude Code”

One command registers Ghost’s MCP server:

Terminal window
claude mcp add android-agent -- uvx --from ghost-in-the-droid android-agent-mcp

That’s the whole ritual. All 62 MCP tools — tap, type_text, launch_app, get_screen_tree, screenshots, OCR, skills — are now in Claude Code’s hands.

Step 2 — Ask in plain English

Section titled “Step 2 — Ask in plain English”

Open Claude Code and type what you want done, like the video does:

Check in the reddit app what's on r/LocalLLaMA. Use the ASUS phone.

Claude Code lists your devices, launches Reddit, reads the screen hierarchy, and taps its way through — you’ll see each tool call stream by (list_devices, launch_app, get_screen_tree, tap, …) while the phone moves on its own.

Step 3 — Verify the possession

Section titled “Step 3 — Verify the possession”

Ask something with a visible answer:

Take a screenshot and tell me what app is open.

If Claude describes your home screen, the ghost is in the machine.
