MCP serverCloud & infra

Disposable cloud Android emulators for coding agents: run an APK or PR build, tap, type, screenshot.

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Add ahel to your AI once: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Claude Code or Codex. Then ask it to use this.

Then ask your AI: use Ramus android-use

Install Ramus android-use

The server’s own address, for the clients that take one directly. Or connect ahel onceand every client you use reads it from one address, with the account kept on ahel rather than in each client’s config.

  • Claude Code

    claude mcp add --transport http --scope user ramus-android-use 'https://api.ramus.dev/api/mcp'

    Run it once in your project, then open /mcp to approve any sign-in the server asks for.

  • Claude Desktop

    https://api.ramus.dev/api/mcp

    Add a custom connector in Settings, paste this address, and approve the sign-in.

  • Cursor

    cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=ramus-android-use&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2FwaS5yYW11cy5kZXYvYXBpL21jcCJ9

    Open the link and Cursor adds the server at that address.

  • ChatGPT

    https://api.ramus.dev/api/mcp

    In Settings, enable Developer mode, create an MCP app, and paste this address. Your plan and workspace must allow custom apps.

  • Codex

    codex mcp add ramus-android-use --url 'https://api.ramus.dev/api/mcp'

    Run it once, then sign in with codex mcp login ramus-android-use if the server asks for an account.

From the project's README

As published by ramus-dev/android-use in README.md.

Android-use for coding agents, powered by Ramus. Give Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI or any agent with a shell a disposable cloud Android emulator it can see, tap, type on, screenshot and read logs from, then watch or take over in your browser.

This plugin connects to the Ramus hosted service. It needs a Ramus account (free during alpha) or a 60-minute CLI trial.

Install

Claude Code, as a plugin (the android-use skill plus the Ramus MCP server; you are asked for an optional API key):

/plugin marketplace add ramus-dev/android-use
/plugin install ramus@ramus

Cursor, Codex, GitHub Copilot, Kiro and other Agent Plugins clients: install this repository as a plugin (plugin.json at the root).

Any agent that supports skills, via the skills CLI:

npx skills add ramus-dev/android-use

Claude Code, by hand: copy skills/android-use/SKILL.md to .claude/skills/android-use/SKILL.md.

Gemini CLI, as an extension (bundles the skill and the Ramus MCP server):

gemini extensions install https://github.com/ramus-dev/android-use

Any MCP client (Cline, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code), as a remote server. Streamable HTTP, no local process:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "ramus": {
      "url": "https://api.ramus.dev/api/mcp",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer <RAMUS_API_KEY>" }
    }
  }
}

Create the key at https://ramus.dev/settings. The server exposes android_* tools (start a session from a demo app or pull request, snapshot the UI tree, tap, type, press, wait, screenshot, logs, share); list them with tools/list. Local APK upload and the dev loop need the CLI below.

The trial needs no account:

npx ramus-cli trial
npx ramus-cli session start --apk app-debug.apk --wait

How it works

The device is a real Android emulator running stock Google images on the Ramus fleet, streamed over WebRTC. The skill teaches the agent the observe, act, verify loop: read a snapshot of the UI tree, act on a referenced element, then check the result before moving on.
