Search Apple's official developer documentation for iOS, macOS, SwiftUI, WWDC videos, and more.
Search Apple's official developer documentation for iOS, macOS, SwiftUI, WWDC videos, and more. That is what the apple developer documentation mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
Apple Developer Documentation MCP Server - Access Apple's official developer docs, frameworks, APIs, SwiftUI, UIKit, and WWDC videos through Model Context Protocol. Search iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS documentation with AI-powered natural language queries. Get instant access to Swift/Objective-C code examples, API references, and technical guides directly in Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible AI assistant.
The server publishes 14 tools. What each one is for:
search_apple_docs — Search Apple Developer Documentationget_apple_doc_content — Get detailed documentation contentlist_technologies — Browse all Apple technologiessearch_framework_symbols — Search symbols in specific frameworkget_related_apis — Find related APIsresolve_references_batch — Batch resolve API referencesget_platform_compatibility — Platform compatibility analysisfind_similar_apis — Discover similar APIsget_documentation_updates — Track Apple documentation updatesget_technology_overviews — Get technology overviews and guidesget_sample_code — Browse Apple sample code projectssearch_wwdc_videos — Search WWDC video sessionsInstallation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at @kimsungwhee/apple-docs-mcp on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
Configuration is passed through the environment: USER_AGENT_POOL_CONFIG, USER_AGENT_POOL_STRATEGY. Treat anything key-shaped as a real credential — scope it to the minimum the server needs, and rotate it if it ever lands in a shared config.
Plenty of knowledge and memory servers cover similar ground. The differences that matter in practice are scope of access and how much setup stands between you and a working tool call. Apple Developer Documentation's toolset — search_apple_docs, get_apple_doc_content, list_technologies and 11 more — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow.
SyncDev reviews every entry in this directory against the project's own documentation before publishing, and revisits them as servers change.

A knowledge graph your assistant keeps between sessions — entities, relations and observations that persist.
Kill hallucinated APIs — version-accurate, up-to-date library documentation injected straight into context.
Your workspace, on speaking terms with AI — search, read and write Notion pages and databases.
A structured scratchpad for hard problems — stepwise reasoning with revisions, branches and visible logic.
Symbol-level code navigation, refactoring and memory for coding agents — the IDE brain your assistant has been missing.
Chat with your second brain — search, read and write vault notes through the Local REST API.
