Xcodebuildmcp

Overview

Use the xcodebuildmcp toolset to build/run/test apps, manage simulators/devices, automate UI, and capture logs/screen media. Default to a safe, repeatable flow: discover → set defaults → execute → verify.

Prereqs & MCP Setup

This skill assumes the XcodeBuildMCP server is installed and exposed to your MCP client so the tools appear (e.g., mcp__xcodebuildmcp__build_run_sim). If the tools are missing, follow the setup steps in:

• references/mcp-setup.md (requirements + MCP client config examples)

Example Requests

• "Build and run the iOS app on the latest simulator and take a screenshot."
• "Run unit tests on the simulator and share the failing test logs."
• "Open the simulator, navigate to Settings, and toggle Dark Mode."
• "Install and launch the app on my connected iPhone."
