capacitor-mcp is a skill for Claude Code from Cap-go/capgo-skills. It costs 231 tokens per session (2,330 once invoked), scanned B, original, MIT.

A collection of MCP tools for Capacitor mobile development. MCP, or Model Context Protocol, lets AI agents connect to tools and documentation; Capacitor packages web apps as native iOS and Android apps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when building Ionic or Capacitor apps with AI assistance, looking up APIs or plugins, or running Capacitor commands through MCP.
Why use it?
It gives an AI agent access to Capacitor and Ionic component information, plugin documentation, and command-line operations in one place.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

capacitor-mcp scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

| `xcrun: error: unable to find utility "mcpbridge", not a developer tool or in PATH` | `sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer`, or update Xcode to 26.3+. |

Capacitor MCP Servers

Wire MCP servers into an agent so it can read Ionic/Capacitor docs, run Capacitor CLI commands, manage Capgo, and drive Xcode.

When to Use

TRIGGER when the user:

  • asks to "add an MCP server" / "connect Claude/Cursor to Capacitor, Ionic, Capgo or Xcode"
  • mentions awesome-ionic-mcp, api.capgo.app/mcp, @capgo/cli mcp, xcrun mcpbridge, claude mcp add, .cursor/mcp.json, .vscode/mcp.json, claude_desktop_config.json
  • has an MCP server that fails to start, shows no tools, asks to sign in, or hits a rate limit

Do not use for:

  • uploading bundles, channels, rollouts, native builds as a task: capgo-cloud, capgo-cli-usage, capgo-live-updates, capgo-native-builds
  • finding or installing a plugin: capacitor-plugins
  • runtime bugs and crashes: debugging-capacitor; device logs: ios-android-logs
  • Ionic component design and theming: ionic-design

Pick the Server

Need Server Transport
Ionic component APIs/demos, Capacitor plugin docs, run ionic/cap commands awesome-ionic-mcp (community, npm) stdio via npx
Capgo account: apps, bundles, channels, rollouts, devices, stats, build status/logs, webhooks, push Capgo hosted MCP https://api.capgo.app/mcp streamable HTTP, OAuth or API key
Upload a bundle from dist/, request a native build, doctor, probe, compatibility check Capgo local CLI MCP npx @capgo/cli@latest mcp stdio
Build/run the iOS project, read Xcode issues, Xcode tools Xcode MCP xcrun mcpbridge (Xcode 26.3+, verified on Xcode 27.1) stdio

The Capgo hosted and local servers are complementary: hosted cannot read local files; local needs npx @capgo/cli@latest login first. Setup guide for both: https://capgo.app/mcp

Procedure

  1. Inspect first: identify the client (Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Cline, Codex) and read its existing MCP config before editing. Do not overwrite other servers.
  2. Choose scope: project config (.cursor/mcp.json, .vscode/mcp.json, claude mcp add --scope project) when the team should share it; user/global config otherwise. Ask the user if unclear.
  3. Add the server. Claude Code one-liners:

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
