Which tool to use and when
Two MCP servers are available for iOS testing. They have distinct roles and should not be interchanged:
XcodeBuildMCP — build, boot, and install
Use XcodeBuildMCP for everything before you start touching the UI:
| Task | Tool |
|---|---|
| Check session defaults (project, scheme, simulator) | session_show_defaults |
| Build and run on simulator | build_run_sim |
| Build only (no run) | build_sim |
| List available simulators | list_sims |
| List schemes in project | list_schemes |
| Boot a specific simulator | boot_sim |
| Install a pre-built .app | install_app_sim |
| Capture logs from simulator | start_sim_log_cap / stop_sim_log_cap |
| Run tests | test_sim |
