## Choose when

### Choose Agent-Reach if…

- Agent-Reach is primarily Python; jadx-ai-mcp is Java.
- License: Agent-Reach is MIT, jadx-ai-mcp is Apache-2.0.
- Tags unique to Agent-Reach: agent-infrastructure, ai-search, bilibili, claude-code.
- Also covers AI Agents.

### Choose jadx-ai-mcp if…

- jadx-ai-mcp is primarily Java; Agent-Reach is Python.
- License: jadx-ai-mcp is Apache-2.0, Agent-Reach is MIT.
- Tags unique to jadx-ai-mcp: mcp-server, llm, ai, model-context-protocol.

## When NOT to use Agent-Reach

- LLM Frameworks: Avoid a framework for a single prompt-and-retrieve call; the abstraction can cost more than it saves.
- AI Agents: Don't use an agent loop when a deterministic workflow would do; agents add latency, cost, and non-determinism.
- Developer Tools: A gateway is overkill when you're pinned to a single provider and model.

## When NOT to use jadx-ai-mcp
