ADB Agent CLI

adb-agent lets you drive a connected Android device or emulator from a normal shell. It is the terminal half of Android-Debug-Bridge-MCP — the MCP server drives the same engine through tool calls instead.

Use the CLI when the flow is a sequence of steps you want to chain in one call, when artifacts should land on disk, or when the same flow has to run in a script or CI job. Use the MCP tools when you want screenshots inline in the conversation.

If adb-agent is not on the PATH, npx -p android-debug-bridge-mcp adb-agent works anywhere, and node dist/cli/index.js works inside a built checkout.
