What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the frustration of getting wireless debugging working when modern devices need pairing and the host must connect to the correct (post-pairing) port.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pair + connect over Wi-Fi (modern and legacy): Supports adb pair for Android 11+ (TLS-based pairing) and the legacy adb tcpip + adb connect fallback.
  • mDNS discovery for hands-off connections: Uses adb mdns check and adb mdns services with _adb-tls-pairing._tcp and _adb-tls-connect._tcp.
  • Avoid common security and connectivity pitfalls: Prevents using the pairing port for debugging, flags Openscreen vs Bonjour mismatches on ADB v34+ defaults, and highlights corporate Wi‑Fi restrictions that can block mDNS/p2p.

Quick Start

Tell your AI agent to connect to your paired Android device by running adb pair for the device’s pairing IP:port, then connect to the separate connect IP:port shown in the Wireless debugging screen or _adb-tls-connect._tcp from adb mdns services.
