Integrate with Xcode to build and manage your projects.
Integrate with Xcode to build and manage your projects. That is what the xcode mcp mcp server brings to an AI assistant: the same capability, reachable through the Model Context Protocol rather than a separate app or dashboard.
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server providing comprehensive Xcode integration for AI assistants. This server enables AI agents to interact with Xcode projects, manage iOS simulators, and perform various Xcode-related tasks with enhanced error handling and support for multiple project types.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at tsc 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.
The server publishes 3 tools. What each one is for:
Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverSetup — The Setup tool exposed by this serverDebugging — 1. Start the server with debug logging enabled: npm start -- --debug 2. Check the console output for detailed error messages 3. Examine the serverPlenty of developer tooling 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. Xcode MCP's toolset — Prerequisites, Setup, Debugging — 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.
