📚 Documentation

Troubleshooting

• Connection issues: Ensure that Android Studio is running before attempting to connect from Cursor.
• Plugin not found: Verify that the Android Studio version you are using is compatible.
• Multiple IDEs: If you have multiple JetBrains IDEs running, specify the IDE_PORT in the configuration.
• Permission issues: Some operations may require explicit permissions in Android Studio.

Advanced Configuration

Enable logging for debugging purposes:

"env": {
  "LOG_ENABLED": "true"
}

Connect to an IDE on a different host/address:
