# Android MCP SDK Roadmap

This directory contains detailed task specifications for completing the Android MCP SDK implementation. Each file represents a specific task that needs to be completed for production readiness.

## Current Status Assessment

**Working Components:**

- ✅ Transport layer: **Official MCP Kotlin SDK provides transport implementations**
  - ✅ `StdioServerTransport` for STDIO communication
  - ✅ SSE transport via Ktor `mcp { }` extension
  - ✅ JSON-RPC message parsing handled automatically by SDK
- ✅ Sample app builds and compiles successfully
- ✅ Basic MCP server structure in place
- ✅ AndroidX Startup integration
- ✅ Debug-only safety mechanisms
- ✅ Build system is stable and functional

**Remaining TODOs in Code:**

1. **ResourceProvider.kt** (Line 203): Android Q+ file path access restrictions
2. **AndroidMcpServerImpl.kt** (Line 281): Sampling requests to clients
3. **StorageToolProvider.kt** (Line 10, 22): Storage debugging tools implementation

## Fixed Issues

- **03-jsonrpc-message-parsing.md**: Task completed via integration with official MCP Kotlin SDK -
  all JSON-RPC parsing is now handled automatically by the SDK
- **04-websocket-transport-implementation.md**: **OBSOLETE** - Official MCP SDK provides transport
  implementations
- **05-http-sse-transport-implementation.md**: **OBSOLETE** - Official MCP SDK provides SSE
  transport via Ktor
- **21-view-hierarchy-querying.md**: **COMPLETED** - Full UI inspection and search capabilities
- **22-accessibility-inspection.md**: **COMPLETED** - Full accessibility auditing and compliance
  validation capabilities
- **Transport Layer Architecture**: Simplified by leveraging official MCP Kotlin SDK instead of
  custom implementations
- **Priority ordering**: Reorganized to focus on blocking TODOs first
- **Status tracking**: Added current assessment and realistic phase planning

## Transport Implementation Notes

The **official MCP Kotlin SDK (v0.5.0)** provides all necessary transport implementations:

### Available Transports

- **STDIO**: `StdioServerTransport()` for command-line MCP clients
- **HTTP/SSE**: `mcp { Server(...) }` Ktor extension for web-based clients
- **WebSocket**: Built into the SDK's server implementation

### Usage Examples

```kotlin
// STDIO Transport
val transport = StdioServerTransport()
server.connect(transport)

// SSE Transport (Ktor)
fun Application.module() {
    mcp {
        Server(serverInfo = Implementation(...), options = ServerOptions(...))
    }
}
```

### What We Removed

- Custom `McpTransport` interface
- Custom `WebSocketTransport` implementation
- Custom `HttpSseTransport` implementation
- Custom `TransportManager` coordinator

These were **redundant** since the official SDK already provides these capabilities with better
integration and protocol compliance.

## Quick Status Check
