Google details MCP-like ‘AppFunctions’ that let Gemini use Android apps
Is there really no emerging "Android local MCP" standard? (local as in app to app e.g. content provider)
Google shipped AppFunctions, FUCK THAT, it's only for apps to expose functions to Gemini.
We need a standard protocol / SDK so that apps can:
- List MCPs available locally
- Answer MCP queries

Android 17 introduces a local MCP equivalent called AppFunctions.
Similar to how a MCP server declares tools that be used by agents, an AppFunction exposes app capabilities to AI agents like Gemini.
