Android Management API MCP Extension

The Android Management API MCP extension enables AI agents to programmatically access enterprise mobility data. It allows for natural language queries about device fleets, automated auditing of policy compliance, and the integration of device management data into broader automated workflows.

Google and Google Cloud managed MCP servers can be used in your AI applications with enterprise-ready governance, security, and access control.

1. In the Google Cloud console, on the project selector page, select or create a Google Cloud project.

   Note: If you don't plan to keep the resources that you create in this procedure, create a project instead of selecting an existing project. After you finish these steps, you can delete the project, removing all resources associated with the project.

2. Get your administrator to grant you the MCP Tool User role (roles/mcp.toolUser) on the Google Cloud project. If you created a new project, then you already have the required permissions.

3. Ensure your administrator has enabled the Android Management API on the Google Cloud project.

This extension uses Google Application Default Credentials (ADC) to perform authentication. To login with ADC, run the following command in your terminal:

gcloud auth application-default login

For additional details, see the ADC documentation.

To install the extension, run the following command in your terminal:

gemini extensions install https://github.com/gemini-cli-extensions/android-management-api

To see a complete list of available tools and their schemas, see the Android Management API MCP reference.

The following are sample use cases for the Android Management API MCP server:

• Natural Language Queries: Ask complex questions about your device fleet without writing code—for example, "Which of my devices are not compliant with the latest security patch?"
• Automated Audits: Periodically fetch data and compile reports on device status and policy adherence.
• Intelligent Alerting: Monitor fleet data to flag anomalies or potential issues based on real-time insights.

You can use the following sample prompts to get information about Android Management API resources:

• List the devices in enterprise ENTERPRISE_ID.
• Get details for device DEVICE_ID in enterprise ENTERPRISE_ID.
• Show the policy details for policy POLICY_NAME.
• Which applications are available in enterprise ENTERPRISE_ID?

In the prompts, replace the following:

• ENTERPRISE_ID: the resource name of the enterprise—for example, enterprises/LC012345.
• DEVICE_ID: the resource name of the device.
• POLICY_NAME: the resource name of the policy.

MCP introduces new security risks and considerations due to the wide variety of actions that you can take with MCP tools. To minimize and manage these risks, Google Cloud offers defaults and customizable policies to control the use of MCP tools in your Google Cloud organization or project.

The Android Management API MCP server doesn't have its own quotas. There is no limit on the number of call that can be made to the MCP server. You are still subject to the quotas enforced by the APIs called by the MCP server tools.
