Verdict

Pick DroidMind if you prefer its approach (control android devices with ai through the model context protocol via adb).

Pick Mobile MCP if you prefer the more popular, battle-tested option, and you need the broadest set of tools.

Add DroidMind

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "droidmind": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "git+https://github.com/hyperb1iss/droidmind",
        "droidmind",
        "--transport",
        "stdio"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Requires `uv` (the Python package runner). Install it from https://docs.astral.sh/uv/ if `uvx` is not found.

Add Mobile MCP

Install / run

npx -y @mobilenext/mobile-mcp@latest

Paste into ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

  "mcpServers": {
    "mobile-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@mobilenext/mobile-mcp@latest"
      ]
    }
  }
