Google AI Edge Gallery enables on-device agents with MCP

Google's AI Edge Gallery has updated its Android app to support the Model Context Protocol (MCP), enabling on-device AI models like Gemma 4 to interact with external tools and data privately. This integration allows the model to decide locally which tool to call and send only the structured API request over the network, preserving user privacy and reducing latency. The update also includes scheduled notification reminders and persistent chat history, transforming the app into a more functional on-device agent runtime for developers and users. AI
