Verdict

Pick LLM Context if you prefer its approach (smart context management for llm workflows — rule-based file selection shared via mcp or clipboard).

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

Add LLM Context

Install / run

uv tool install "llm-context>=0.6.0"

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

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "llm-context": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "--from",
        "llm-context",
        "lc-mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

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"
      ]
    }
  }
}
