Mimic: control Android from CLI or MCP with fine-grained permissions

because it registers as an accessibility service, it has access to screen contents which `adb uiautomation` doesn't. i'm using this with termux + pi.dev to control my phone for routine automation tasks, but it can be configured to bind to other interfaces for control via claude over a VPN for example.
