Verdict

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

Pick Playwright MCP Server if you want the official, vendor-maintained server, and you prefer the more popular, battle-tested option.

Add DroidMind

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "droidmind": {
      "command": "uvx",

        "--from",
        "git+https://github.com/hyperb1iss/droidmind",
        "droidmind",
        "--transport",
        "stdio"
      ]
    }
  }
