firerpa/lamda

lamda is an open-source framework that consolidates Android device automation, remote control, network capture, reverse engineering, and AI agent tooling into a single on-device service with a Python client. It exposes a unified API for controlling individual devices or distributed fleets, including browser-based remote desktop access and natural-language device interaction.

Project overview

By unifying capabilities that traditionally require separate disconnected tools—device control, UI automation, traffic interception, Frida-based hooking, and MCP-driven AI agents—lamda eliminates workflow fragmentation for Android automation and security teams. Its ability to run isolated background automation on virtual displays and perform on-device image matching without consuming PC resources makes it particularly compelling for scalable, multi-device operations.

Best for

Developers building Android automation, testing, or AI agent pipelines who need a programmatic Python client and unified API.
Operations teams managing distributed Android device fleets requiring centralized local and remote access.
AI engineers integrating Android device control with MCP-compatible tools and OpenAI-compatible tool-calling APIs.

Key capabilities

Runs an on-device service paired with a Python client to control and operate Android devices through a unified API.
Provides real-time viewing and control of Android devices from a browser, supporting both LAN and cross-network usage.
Automates Android interfaces using selectors, element operations, UI watchers, and virtual displays.
Supports OCR and on-device template or SIFT image matching for interfaces that lack a standard view tree.
Automates CA installation, proxy setup, traffic capture, and network restoration for Android network analysis.
Bundles Frida with persistent scripts and RPC interfaces for Android reverse-engineering workflows.
Provides centralized local and remote device access, P2P connectivity, and distributed task support.
Exposes an MCP server and an agent command that drives devices through OpenAI-compatible tool-calling APIs.

Limitations and risks

Devices must run Android 6.0 or higher.
Using the built-in agent command requires access to an OpenAI-compatible API that supports tool calling.
Minimum hardware, database, and GPU requirements for the overall platform are not documented.
While multiple deployment routes are described, a complete first-success installation sequence is not provided in the available documentation.

Getting started

The documentation describes several deployment routes but does not provide a complete first-success installation sequence; expect to consult the project repository for specific setup instructions.
