🔧 Configuration
Add to your Claude Desktop configuration (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
):
{
"mcpServers": {
"xcode-mcp": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/path/to/xcode-mcp/dist/index.js"],
"env": {}
}
}
}
🎯 Usage
Once configured, Claude can use these tools directly:
Creating a New Project
User: "Create a new iOS app called MyApp"
Claude: *uses xcode_create_project to generate the project structure*
Building Projects
User: "Build my iOS app"
Claude: *uses xcode_build_project with appropriate parameters*
Managing Simulators
User: "Show me available simulators"
Claude: *uses xcode_list_simulators to display options*
