Google AI Edge Gallery enables on-device agents with MCP support

Google has updated its AI Edge Gallery app to support the Model Context Protocol (MCP) on Android devices, enabling on-device AI agents. This update allows LLMs like Gemma 4 to run entirely locally, enhancing privacy and reducing latency by keeping all processing and data on the user's phone. The app now supports agent skills, calendar integration, and persistent chat history, moving it from a simple model playground to a functional on-device agent runtime. AI
