Connection Settings

About 322 wordsAbout 1 min

MaaKEDR connects to emulators and Android devices via ADB. Proper connection configuration is essential for task execution.

Note

Readers using the Android APK can skip this page. The Android build does not go through ADB — Shizuku or root grants screen-capture and tap permissions directly, so there is no connection to configure. This page is for the desktop build running against an emulator.

Auto Detection

In most cases, keep only your target emulator running and MaaKEDR will detect it automatically. Click Refresh to rescan.

Once detected, the connection status indicator turns green.

Manual Configuration

If auto-detection fails, click Customize to configure manually:

ADB Path: Usually auto-filled, no changes needed
ADB Address: <IP>:<Port> format, e.g. 127.0.0.1:16384

Default ADB ports for popular emulators:

Emulator	ADB Address	Notes
MuMu 12	`127.0.0.1:16384` (multi-instance: `16416`/`16448`/`16480`/`16512`/`16544`/`16576`)	Enable ADB in settings
BlueStacks 5	`127.0.0.1:5555` (multi-instance: `5565`/`5575`/`5585`/`5595`)	Enable ADB in settings
LDPlayer 9	`127.0.0.1:5555` (multi-instance: `5557`/`5559`/`5561`) or `emulator-5554`/`5556`/`5558`/`5560`	Enabled by default
NoxPlayer	`127.0.0.1:62001` (multi-instance: `59865`)	Enabled by default
MEmu	`127.0.0.1:21503`	Enable ADB in settings

Tip

Multi-instance ports listed above are common values; verify the actual port in your emulator's multi-instance manager. Check your emulator's settings for the ADB debugging toggle. MuMu 12: Settings → Other → ADB. BlueStacks: Settings → Advanced → Android Debug Bridge.

Verify Connection

Run this command in a terminal to verify ADB connectivity:

adb devices

The output should list your device with a device status.

Multiple Emulator Instances

When multiple emulator instances are running, MaaKEDR lists all detected devices. Select the correct target. It is recommended to keep only one emulator instance running while using MaaKEDR.
