A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for manipulating Xcode project files (.xcodeproj) using Swift.
Most developer tooling work still happens through a UI a human drives. Xcodeproj MCP server moves it into the conversation instead. A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for manipulating Xcode project files (.xcodeproj) using Swift.
This server enables AI assistants and other MCP clients to: - Create new Xcode projects - Manage targets, files, and build configurations - Inspect project structure including groups and hierarchies - Modify build settings - Add dependencies and frameworks - Automate common Xcode project tasks
The server publishes 1 tool. What each one is for:
Prerequisites — The Prerequisites tool exposed by this serverThe server ships on a container image as ghcr.io/giginet/xcodeproj-mcp-server, so your MCP client can launch it on demand — there is no separate build step. Add the server block to your client's configuration, restart it, and the tools register themselves.
Configuration is passed through the environment: ENABLE_TOOL_SEARCH. 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.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Xcodeproj's toolset — Prerequisites — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by giginet; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
We check each listing at SyncDev against the project's documentation before it goes live — if something here drifts out of date, it is a bug worth reporting.
