About PreviewAPK
PreviewAPK is an MCP server published by the GitHub account livetaub. Give your AI agent a real cloud Android phone: push APKs, drive it, get screenshots and logs.
It runs on your own machine: your AI client starts it from the MCP bundle package https://github.com/livetaub/previewapk/releases/download/v1.1.1/previewapk.mcpb, with no version pinned, or you can connect to the hosted version instead.
It asks for one secret: PREVIEWAPK_API_KEY. Give it a key with the least access that still works.
Version 1.1.1 was published on 23 October 2026, and the source code is public, so you can read it before installing.
Written from the registry entry. 9 automated checks on the registry entry and the package code: 6 pass, 1 warn, 0 fail, 2 info. How we check.
