Today we venture in the world of AI with Jason Pearson and the Android MCP (Model Context Protocol) SDK, a new library that allows Android developers to build apps that can communicate with AI models more effectively.

While this library is still in its early days, this solution has a lot of potential to revolutionize how we interact and debug our Android apps. Jason is going to share insights from his with MCP and what it enables for Android developers: from layout inspections, to network debugging and potentially automating and simplifying UI testing for mobile apps!
