benchfleet-mcp

Let AI agents use your real Android phones, safely. benchfleet-mcp connects Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Claude Desktop and any other MCP client to BenchFleet, the self-hosted control hub for real Android phones. The agent can list your phones, look at their screens, read the elements on them, tap, type, open apps and run your published workflows — only on the phones and with the actions you allow, with approvals for anything sensitive and every step in BenchFleet's audit log.

It is a thin connector: it forwards MCP messages to the BenchFleet app running on the same computer and reaches nothing else. The tools, the permissions and the phones are all in the app.

Set up

1. Install BenchFleet from https://benchfleet.com/download and connect your phones (or use its demo phones).

2. In BenchFleet: Settings → AI clients → Connect an AI client…, choose what the client may do (Look only, Look and operate, or chosen capabilities) and on which phones, and copy the token it shows once.

3. Add the server to your client:

   Claude Code

   bash

   claude mcp add benchfleet --env BENCHFLEET_TOKEN=<token> -- npx -y benchfleet-mcp
   

   Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

   toml

   [mcp_servers.benchfleet]
   command = "npx"
   args = ["-y", "benchfleet-mcp"]
   env = { BENCHFLEET_TOKEN = "<token>" }
   

   Claude Desktop, Cursor and other clients (mcpServers)

   json

   {
     "mcpServers": {
       "benchfleet": {
         "command": "npx",
         "args": ["-y", "benchfleet-mcp"],
         "env": { "BENCHFLEET_TOKEN": "<token>" }
       }
     }
   }
   

The app must be running. Disconnect in BenchFleet stops the token at once.

Tools

list_devices, get_device, get_screen, get_ui_tree, find_element, read_text, wait_for, tap_element, long_press_element, type_text, type_secret (a password from BenchFleet's vault, never its value), swipe, scroll_to, press_key, launch_app, stop_app, take_screenshot, get_device_logs, list_workflows, run_workflow, queue_task (a workflow, or a goal in plain words for the phones' AI agents), get_task_status, pause_device, resume_device, request_manual_control. A client sees only the tools its access allows. There is no shell, file transfer or install tool. A phone a person is controlling, a paused phone and a phone without Automation allowed refuse every action; CAPTCHAs and other human-only checks stop the agent and ask a person.

Settings

Plans: AI clients need BenchFleet Pro or Team (https://benchfleet.com/pricing); the personal edition has no limits. Support: support@benchfleet.com.

Use it in Claude Code as a plugin

/plugin marketplace add benchfleet/benchfleet-mcp
/plugin install benchfleet@benchfleet-plugins

Set BENCHFLEET_TOKEN in your environment first (the token from BenchFleet: Settings → AI clients).

Use it in Gemini CLI

gemini extensions install https://github.com/benchfleet/benchfleet-mcp
