Xcode MCP Server is a comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation designed to facilitate AI assistants' interaction with Xcode projects and iOS development environments. It provides extensive integration with Xcode, enabling AI agents to manage projects, handle files, build and test applications, and control iOS simulators through a unified protocol interface. The server supports multiple project types including iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS, allowing users to create new projects from templates, add files with target and group specifications, and parse workspace documents to identify associated projects. It offers robust file operations such as reading and writing files with various encodings, handling binary files via base64 encoding, searching file contents using patterns and regex, and managing directory structures. The build and testing capabilities include customizable project builds, detailed test failure reporting, code analysis, cleaning build directories, and archiving projects for distribution. Integration with CocoaPods allows initialization, installation, updating, and management of pod dependencies, while Swift Package Manager support includes package initialization, dependency management, documentation generation with DocC, and running tests and builds. The server also provides extensive iOS simulator tools to list, boot, shut down simulators, install and launch apps, capture screenshots and videos, and manage simulator settings. Additional utilities include executing Xcode commands via xcrun, compiling asset catalogs, generating app icon sets, tracing app performance, exporting and validating archives for App Store submission, and switching between different Xcode versions. The server is designed for macOS environments with Xcode 14.0 or higher and requires Node.js 16+, npm or yarn, Swift 5.5+, and optionally CocoaPods. It offers both automated and manual setup options, with a setup script that verifies environment prerequisites, installs dependencies, configures settings, and optionally integrates with Claude Desktop for enhanced AI assistant compatibility. Configuration is flexible through environment variables or command line arguments, supporting project base directory specification, debug logging, allowed paths, and server port settings. The server is intended to be started via npm commands and connects seamlessly with AI assistants supporting MCP, providing them with powerful tools to interact with Xcode projects and iOS development workflows efficiently and effectively.
