How to launch Airdroid web server from adb?

Question

My Galaxy S4 screen broke - basic cellphone issue. I have Airdroid installed and I really need to access some of my SMS and contacts informations.

My device is rooted and USB debug is enabled but I cannot adb in root mode because apparently it is not enabled in my settings :( So no access to the /data directory.

From adb shell I can launch Airdroid using am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.sand.airdroid/.ui.splash.SplashActivity_ but I don't know how to launch the webserver and accept the request from adb.

How can I access my /data directory or how can I launch the airdroid web server?

Thanks for any answer in advance.

EDIT: I also have TWRP installed, but adb shell twrp mount /data doesn't mount any partition on my linux system.

Solution found for future reference: adb shell twrp backup D and transfer the huuuuge backup on my computer using mtp. It creates a Tar archive.

Airdroid is an app used to access your device from your computer's browser. I forgot to mention that I also have access to `adb shell twrp` commands, I edited my question. — Jeremy Dicaire, Jun 23 '15 at 07:42

Why you want to use adb? It just login from http://web.airdroid.com/.
