What is XcodeBuild MCP?
XcodeBuild MCP is a specialized server that enables AI assistants and other tools to programmatically work with Xcode projects. It provides a set of standardized commands for building projects, managing simulators, and interacting with iOS/macOS apps.How to use XcodeBuild MCP?
After installation, configure your AI assistant (like Cursor or Claude) to connect to the XcodeBuild MCP server. The assistant can then use it to build projects, run apps on simulators, and troubleshoot issues automatically.Use Cases
Ideal for developers using AI assistants to work with Xcode projects, especially for automating build processes, fixing errors, and testing apps on simulators without manual intervention.Key Features
Xcode Project ManagementDiscover, build and clean Xcode projects with standardized commands. Get project information like schemes and build settings.
Simulator ManagementList, boot and control iOS simulators. Install, launch and debug apps on simulators with log capture capabilities.
UI Automation (Beta)Interact with simulator UI elements through taps and swipes. Capture screenshots for visual feedback.
App UtilitiesExtract bundle identifiers and launch apps on both simulators and macOS devices.
