A compact read before the deeper capability notes and official setup links.

Feature cards focus on what the tool helps users do, not generated setup commands.

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and CLI that provides tools for agent use when working on iOS and macOS projects.

XcodeBuildMCP ships as a single package with two modes: a CLI for direct terminal use and an MCP server for AI coding agents.

XcodeBuildMCP now includes two optional agent skills:

MCP Skill: Primes the agent with instructions on how to use the MCP server's tools (optional when using the MCP server).

CLI Skill: Primes the agent with instructions on how to navigate the CLI (recommended when using the CLI).

For further information on installing skills, see Agent Skills.

XcodeBuildMCP requests xcodebuild to skip macro validation to avoid errors when building projects that use Swift Macros.

Device tools require code signing to be configured in Xcode.

This panel keeps technical format separate from the user-facing AI category.
