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 A, and why

ax-apple-docs 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 9d 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.

Apple Docs & Xcode MCP

Quick Patterns

Xcode MCP Setup (Xcode 26.3+)

  1. Xcode Settings > Intelligence > Enable Model Context Protocol + Xcode Tools ON
  2. Add to your MCP client:
# Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport stdio xcode -- xcrun mcpbridge

# Codex
codex mcp add xcode -- xcrun mcpbridge
// Cursor (.cursor/mcp.json)
{ "mcpServers": { "xcode": { "command": "xcrun", "args": ["mcpbridge"] } } }

// VS Code (.vscode/mcp.json)
{ "servers": { "xcode": { "type": "stdio", "command": "xcrun", "args": ["mcpbridge"] } } }
  1. Verify: call XcodeListWindows -- should return tabIdentifier + workspacePath

Xcode MCP Tools (20 tools)

Discovery: XcodeListWindows -- call first, get tabIdentifier for all other tools

File Ops: XcodeRead, XcodeWrite, XcodeUpdate (str_replace patches), XcodeGlob, XcodeGrep, XcodeLS, XcodeMakeDir, XcodeRM (destructive), XcodeMV (destructive)

Build/Test: BuildProject(tabIdentifier), GetBuildLog(tabIdentifier), RunAllTests(tabIdentifier), RunSomeTests(tabIdentifier, tests), GetTestList(tabIdentifier)

Diagnostics: XcodeListNavigatorIssues(tabIdentifier) -- structured diagnostics, XcodeRefreshCodeIssuesInFile(tabIdentifier, path)

Other: ExecuteSnippet(code, language), RenderPreview(tabIdentifier, path, previewIdentifier), DocumentationSearch(query)

Xcode MCP Workflows

BuildFix Loop:

1. BuildProject(tab) -> check result
2. XcodeListNavigatorIssues(tab) -> structured diagnostics
3. XcodeUpdate(file, patches) -> fix errors
4. Repeat (max 5 iterations)

TestFix Loop:

1. GetTestList(tab) -> discover tests
2. RunSomeTests(tab, [failing]) -> fast iteration
3. XcodeUpdate -> fix
4. Repeat, then RunAllTests for verification

PreviewVerify: RenderPreview(tab, file, viewName) -> review image -> edit -> re-render

App Store Connect MCP (asc-mcp)

brew install mint && mint install zelentsov-dev/[email protected]

  -e ASC_ISSUER_ID=YOUR_ISSUER_ID \

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.
