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.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00045 | $0.00557 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00279 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00111 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00056 |
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 yesterday.
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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 42 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
XcodeBuildMCP
Use XcodeBuildMCP tools instead of raw xcodebuild, xcrun, or simctl.
Capabilities:
- Session defaults: Configure project, scheme, simulator, and device defaults to avoid repetitive parameters
- Project discovery: Find Xcode projects/workspaces, list schemes, inspect build settings
- Simulator workflows: Build, run, test, install, and launch apps on iOS simulators; manage simulator state (boot, erase, location, appearance)
- Device workflows: Build, test, install, and launch apps on physical devices with code signing
- macOS workflows: Build, run, and test macOS applications
- Log capture: Stream and capture logs from simulators and devices
- LLDB debugging: Attach debugger, set breakpoints, inspect stack traces and variables, execute LLDB commands
- UI automation: Capture screenshots, inspect view hierarchy with coordinates, perform taps/swipes/gestures, type text, press hardware buttons
- SwiftPM: Build, run, test, and manage Swift Package Manager projects
- Project scaffolding: Generate new iOS/macOS project templates
Only simulator workflow tools are enabled by default. If capabilities like device, macOS, debugging, or UI automation are not available, the user must configure XcodeBuildMCP to enable them. See https://xcodebuildmcp.com/docs/configuration for workflow configuration.
Step 1: Establish Session Context
- Call
session_show_defaultsbefore the first build/run/test action in a session. - Use
discover_projsonly when defaults show missing or incorrect project/workspace context. - Do not run discovery speculatively or in parallel with
session_show_defaults. - For simulator run intent, prefer the combined build-and-run tool instead of separate build then run calls.
- Do not chain build-only then build-and-run unless the user explicitly requests both.
Step 2: Understand Workflow-Scoped Tool Availability
- Not all tools are enabled by default; tool availability depends on enabled workflows.
- If a tool is expected but missing, check enabled workflows first.
- Update enabled workflows in
.xcodebuildmcp/config.yaml, then ask user to reload/restart the session to surface refreshes.
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.

xcodebuildmcp is a skill published in the GitHub repository getsentry/XcodeBuildMCP (6,316 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 45 tokens to every session and 557 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.

opik-diagnose
Surface the Opik traces worth a developer's attention, ranked by signal — errors, failed tool calls, latency, regressions, and low online-eval scores — plus Diagnostics issues. Reads live/production traces via the SDK (searchtraces and agentinsights) and works with no MCP; uses the MCP issue entity when connected.…

Prepare, evaluate, and reconcile autonomous agent transactions without self-granting payment or owner authority. Use when an agent must bind principal authority, seller terms, payment evidence, execution, delivered outcome, and reconciliation; handle paid retries safely; or prepare an authority request for owner…
