A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and CLI that provides tools for agent use when working on iOS and macOS projects.
XcodeBuildMCP is an MCP server and CLI tool, built by Sentry, that exposes Xcode build operations as structured tools for AI coding agents working on iOS and macOS projects. It connects to MCP-compatible clients such as Claude Code and Cursor by running as a local server via `npx -y xcodebuildmcp@latest mcp` or a globally installed binary, giving agents the ability to build for simulators, manage devices, capture logs, and run debugging sessions without leaving the AI workflow. The package ships two optional agent skills, an MCP Skill and a CLI Skill, which prime the agent with context-specific instructions for using either interface. A notable implementation detail is that XcodeBuildMCP instructs xcodebuild to skip macro validation, avoiding common build failures in projects that use Swift Macros. The CLI includes a per-workspace daemon for stateful operations and supports in-place upgrades via `xcodebuildmcp upgrade`. iOS and macOS developers using AI-assisted coding tools are the primary audience, particularly those who want agents to trigger and interpret real Xcode build output directly.
