MobileBuildMCP

MobileBuildMCP is an MCP server and CLI providing tools for AI agents working on iOS and macOS projects.

MobileBuildMCP is a Model Context Protocol server and command-line interface that provides tools for agent use when working on iOS and macOS projects. It ships as a single package with a CLI for direct terminal use and an MCP server for AI coding agents. The software requires macOS 14.5 or later, Xcode 16.x or later, and Node.js 18.x or later for npm installations. It includes optional agent skills to prime agents on using the MCP server and CLI. Additionally, it uses a per-workspace daemon for stateful operations like log capture and debugging.
