XcodeBuildMCP

XcodeBuildMCP is an MCP server for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, OpenCode from SwiftfulThinking/SwiftfulStarterProject. Its token cost is not measured, scanned A, a copy of XcodeBuildMCP, MIT.

A local tool server for Xcode, Apple's development environment for building apps. It provides an AI assistant with tools for managing Xcode projects, simulators, and app utilities through the Model Context Protocol, a standard way to connect tools to AI assistants.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for managing Xcode projects, controlling iOS simulators, and using related app-development utilities.
Why use it?
It lets the assistant interact with parts of an Xcode development setup instead of only discussing the project in text. The server runs locally through the xcodebuildmcp package.

Written for no agent in particular: it speaks MCP, so any client can run it. Also seen: listed in a Claude config.

One of 2 entries in .mcp.json — they are configured in one file and arrive together.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Security

Grade A, and why

XcodeBuildMCP scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

88% identical to XcodeBuildMCP — 3 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
