clousd-mcp: real Android phones for your AI agent

Clousd MCP server gives any MCP-capable agent real Android phones in the cloud. Each device is built as a specific handset (Pixel, Galaxy, Xiaomi, Motorola, OnePlus and 150+ more, Android 12 to 17) with Google Play inside and its own network exit, so apps behave the way they do on the phone in a user's pocket.

Your agent does not have to tap every button itself. It gives a phone the goal in plain words - "open the app, sign in with the saved work login and tell me what the order page shows" - and Clousd's own phone agent works the screen and comes back with the answer, a step-by-step replay and, if asked, JSON in your schema. One call can give the same task to up to 32 phones at once. When your agent wants to drive the screen itself, observe and act are there too.

Tools

Tool What it does
account Plan, phones, money left and warnings to tell the user
devices The phones this key can use (name, label, number, state, model, Android, exit); start, stop, rename
run Give one or many phones a task in plain words; waits up to 50 s and returns the status, the answer or what it waits on, and a replay link
run_status Follow a run (status, last steps, per-phone results), list recent runs, cancel, or tell the running agent something
answer Reply to a run that asks a question or asks permission for a step
observe A fresh screenshot with a number on every element, the app in front, the elements as text
act Tap an element number or a point, long press, swipe, scroll, type in any language, keys, open apps and links, intents, settings pages; read notifications, clipboard, app info, crashes, health
credentials Saved logins: package, name and which fields are set - never the values. Pass one to run and it is typed without anyone seeing it
schedules Tasks that run by themselves at a time on chosen days: list, add, pause, delete

Connect

Hosted server, no install

https://api.clousd.com/mcp (streamable HTTP).

  • Claude.ai, ChatGPT and other apps with connectors: add the URL; the app opens Clousd's sign-in page (OAuth 2.1) and you allow access. Disconnect any time in the dashboard: Settings → Connections → Connected apps.
  • Coding agents and other clients: send your key in the header.
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clousd": { "url": "https://api.clousd.com/mcp", "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer cl_live_..." } }
  }
}
claude mcp add --transport http clousd https://api.clousd.com/mcp --header "Authorization: Bearer cl_live_..."

The key goes only in the Authorization header: a key in the address is refused (addresses end up in logs and histories). Without a header the server answers 401 with the OAuth metadata, which is how connector apps start the sign-in.

Local (stdio)

pip install clousd-mcp
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "clousd": { "command": "clousd-mcp", "env": { "CLOUSD_API_KEY": "cl_live_..." } }
  }
}

Keys: dashboard → Settings → Connections → API keys. A read key can look but never acts; a read & write key can act and run tasks.

A session

account                                         -> plan, 4 phones, no warnings
devices                                         -> "Pixel 7 #1" running, "Galaxy A35 #2" running
credentials package=com.example.shop            -> use: com.example.shop/work (username, password)
run task="Open the Example Shop app, sign in and tell me how many orders are on the Orders page"
    devices="1,2" credentials="com.example.shop/work"
                                                -> status running, next: run_status in 20-60 s
run_status run=r_8f2c wait_seconds=40           -> completed; Pixel 7 #1: "3 orders", Galaxy A35 #2: "3 orders";
                                                   replay https://clousd.com/app/?run=r_8f2c

Settings

Variable Meaning
CLOUSD_API_KEY the key (stdio server)
CLOUSD_SHOT_WIDTH screenshot width for observe, 240 to 1080, default 540
CLOUSD_MCP_HTTP host:port - run the remote (streamable HTTP) server at /mcp instead of stdio
CLOUSD_MCP_HOSTS public host names allowed in the Host header behind a reverse proxy, e.g. api.clousd.com
CLOUSD_MCP_RESOURCE_META OAuth protected-resource metadata URL sent with 401 (default: api.clousd.com's)

Upgrading from 0.3

1.0 gives phones goals instead of scripts: run / run_status / answer replace fleet and recipe; saved logins (credentials) replace resources accounts; reading the phone moved into act; network, snapshots and inspect are no longer MCP tools (the REST API and the Python client still have proxies, snapshots and device reads). Keys in the URL (?api_key=, ?config=) are no longer accepted - send the Authorization header or connect with OAuth.
