Android Remote Control MCP v1.13.0 is out: free end-to-end encrypted tunnel, no account needed 🚀 It has been a while since the last release, but Android Remote Control MCP is back and v1.13.0 is now out! It's the MCP server that runs on your phone and lets your AI agent use any app you want. github.com/danielealbano/android-remote-control-m… The android application was vibecoded with Claude (VSCode extension + remote sessions), mix between Opus (from 4.6) and Fable (most recently with 5.1), it's free and it's fully open source (GPL 3 or later license). The big news of this release is the free end-to-end encrypted HTTPS tunnel, built into the app, which doesn't require any account and uses well known services for the HTTPS certificates (Let's Encrypt, Google Trust Services and ZeroSSL)! With my infrastructure no one can, apart from you and your AI provider, read the traffic (which is a big thing)! The encryption is terminated on the phone itself, the private key is generated on the phone and never leaves it and the app also watches the Certificate Transparency logs and warns you if a certificate for your name gets issued to another key so you can safely get a new tunnel (I mean, can't really happen but I wanted to offer an addition layer of protection instead of just saying "it's secure"). Basically: install the app, do a few clicks, start it, and in less than a minute you are up and running without having to create any account or pay anything! Adding your phone to claude.ai, one installed and configured it simply open claude.ai and fill out the name and url fields, that's it! The OAuth2 authentication is secure and supported out of the box. I know that privacy is a concern but the application has limitations when the app marks the content on screen as "secure" and it also offers a local - running on the phone - model that automatically, based on the settings, anonymize or pseudonymize (to let the agent use the app even without reading personal information) the data shared with tools giving an extra layer of peace of mind! This release also brings a bunch of other improvements and fixes, the details are in the release page. A special thanks to the people who forked Android Remote Control MCP: plenty of fixes from the forks have been brought back in thanks to your efforts! Thank you!!! Also, I love open source, so now the app is GPL-3.0-or-later 🔒 and the free e2e tunnel source code is available at danielealbano/android-remote-control-mcp-tunneld (with its own releases, also fully vibecoded with Claude!). A few things you can do with it: 📣 Find and share your news on LinkedIn, Instagram, Reddit and Discord and reply to the comments without the need of additional more complex platforms, your agent can easily manage your account! ✈️ Plan a trip: flights on momondo and easyJet, stays on booking.com and Airbnb, best options back to you 🍜 The usual place from where you get your ramen is closed? No worries, your agent can also use Uber Eats, Just Eat, DoorDash, etc. to find the best alternative for you! No adb, no cables, no root! If there's an app for it, your agent can drive it ... you just have to ask!
