About MCP Server Configuration

What is MCP Server Configuration: Secure Access & AI Code Navigation?

This configuration enables AI assistants like Claude to securely interact with Android project files. By validating project integrity through Gradle configurations and restricting sensitive directory access, it creates a controlled environment for code analysis. The server exposes a structured interface for browsing Kotlin, KTS, TOML files, and Android manifests while enforcing strict security boundaries.

How to Use MCP Server Configuration: Secure Access & AI Code Navigation?

  1. Install prerequisites: Use the Astral UV toolchain via this installer
  2. Configure server in MCP: 
    {
        "mcpServers": {
          "Android source code": {
            "command": "/usr/local/bin/uv", 
            "args": ["run", "--with", "mcp[cli]", "mcp", "run", "./filesystem_android/main.py"]
          }
        }
      }
  3. Initialize environment with uv venv and uv pip install -r uv.lock

MCP Server Configuration Features

Key Features of MCP Server Configuration: Secure Access & AI Code Navigation?

  • Project Integrity Checks: Mandatory validation of Gradle files (build.gradle, settings.gradle) ensures only legitimate Android projects are processed
  • Granular File Access: Organized directory-based listing of source files with built-in filtering for sensitive folders like .git and build/ directories
  • Context-Aware Security: Whitelists only essential file types (Kotlin/KTS/TOML/AndroidManifest) while blocking access to configuration files containing credentials
  • Batch Processing Support: Capabilities for reading multiple files in structured workflows without exposing raw file system paths

Use Cases of MCP Server Configuration: Secure Access & AI Code Navigation?

AI-Driven Code Analysis

Automate dependency audits by letting AI review build.gradle files without exposing full project directories

Secure Collaboration

Share restricted project access with third-party developers while maintaining control over sensitive configurations

CI/CD Integration

Enable AI code reviewers to analyze manifests and source files during pipeline stages without production environment access

MCP Server Configuration FAQ

FAQ: MCP Server Configuration: Secure Access & AI Code Navigation

How does the server prevent unauthorized access?

Uses a combination of file type whitelisting, path sanitization, and strict directory exclusion rules enforced at the API layer

What happens if invalid project structure is detected?

Returns structured error responses with specific validation failure details (missing Gradle files, invalid directory structure)

Can the security rules be customized?

Yes - the exclusion patterns and allowed file types can be configured via .mcp-security.json in project root

Overview

This project provides a Claude MCP server that enables secure access to Android project files. It allows AI assistants to browse and read source code from Android projects by checking for essential gradle configuration files that validate authentic Android projects.

Key features:

  • Project Validation : Ensures directories are valid Android projects by checking for gradle files
  • File Browsing : Lists all Kotlin, KTS, TOML files and AndroidManifest.xml grouped by directory
  • File Reading : Provides secure access to read individual or multiple files with appropriate filtering
  • Security : Prevents access to sensitive directories like .gradle, .git and build folders

This tool is ideal for developers who want to leverage Claude to help them understand, analyze, and work with Android codebases.

Server Setup

Add this configuration to your Claude client's MCP settings:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "Android source code": {
      "command": "/path/to/uv", 
      "args": [
        "run",
        "--with",
        "mcp[cli]",
        "mcp",
        "run",
        "./filesystem_android/main.py"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Note: Replace /path/to/uv with your actual UV installation path

Installation

# Install UV if missing
curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh

# Initialize project
uv venv
uv pip install -r uv.lock
