Description
XcodeBuildMCP is a Model Context Protocol server that provides tools for building, running, and debugging iOS and macOS applications through Xcode. Developed by Cameron Cooke, it offers a comprehensive suite of tools for project discovery, simulator management, app deployment, and UI automation testing. The implementation supports both workspace and project-based builds, includes incremental build optimization through xcodemake integration, and features Sentry error reporting for reliability. It's particularly valuable for AI assistants helping with iOS/macOS development workflows, allowing them to build, test, and debug applications without requiring users to manually execute complex xcodebuild commands.
Agent Hygiene Score
Is this server safe to hand an autonomous AI agent? This score evaluates schema strictness, least-privilege scoping, declared boundaries, auditability, and maintenance — separate from our security audit.
