mcp-setup

mcp-setup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from troyjthomas/ios-agent-skills. It costs 91 tokens per session (1,386 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup guide for connecting Claude Code to tools for Figma designs, Apple documentation, Xcode, and SwiftUI previews. Xcode is Apple’s development environment for building iPhone and other Apple-platform apps.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting iOS development, matching screens to Figma designs, looking up Apple APIs or guidelines, running Xcode builds and tests, or checking SwiftUI previews.
Why use it?
It gathers the project information and development tools Claude Code needs to build, test, deploy, and visually check an iOS app. The setup is intended to be done once per machine.

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

mcp-setup scanned grade A 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 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.

MCP Setup

Four MCPs give Claude Code full access to your design files, Apple documentation, the Xcode build system, and visual preview rendering. Set these up once and every project benefits.

The Stack

MCP What It Does When Claude Uses It
Figma MCP Reads your Figma designs directly Building/matching designed screens
Sosumi Apple docs, HIG, WWDC sessions as markdown Looking up APIs, guidelines, Liquid Glass patterns
XcodeBuildMCP Build, test, simulator, deploy (59 tools) Building the project, running tests, deploying
Xcode MCP Bridge SwiftUI previews, diagnostics, doc search Visually verifying what it built, fixing errors

Setup Instructions

1. Figma MCP

You likely already have this connected. If not:

claude mcp add figma -- npx -y figma-developer-mcp --figma-api-key YOUR_KEY

Or connect via OAuth in Claude Code settings. This lets Claude Code read frame layouts, text content, colors, spacing, and component hierarchy directly from your Figma files.

2. Sosumi (Apple Developer Documentation)

This is critical. Apple's docs are locked behind JavaScript, which means Claude Code can't read them by default. Sosumi translates Apple Developer docs, Human Interface Guidelines, and WWDC sessions into AI-friendly Markdown.

claude mcp add sosumi -- npx -y mcp-remote https://sosumi.ai/mcp

Or as a Claude Code skill (available in every project):

mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/sosumi
curl -o ~/.claude/skills/sosumi/SKILL.md https://sosumi.ai/SKILL.md

What this enables:

  • Claude Code can look up any SwiftUI modifier, any HIG guideline
  • When building Liquid Glass effects, it reads the actual iOS 26 docs
  • When you say "use the correct presentation style," it checks HIG
  • WWDC session transcripts are searchable for implementation guidance

3. XcodeBuildMCP (Build System)

This gives Claude Code 59 tools for building, testing, and deploying without Xcode open.

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.
