XcodeBuildMCP CLI
Use XcodeBuildMCP tools via the xcodebuildmcp executable instead of raw xcodebuild, xcrun, or simctl.
Step 1: Ensure the CLI Exists
Check availability:
xcodebuildmcp --helpIf missing, install with one of:
brew tap getsentry/xcodebuildmcp
brew install xcodebuildmcpnpm install -g xcodebuildmcp@latestRe-check after install:
xcodebuildmcp --helpStep 2: Use Help-First Discovery
Discover workflows and arguments from the CLI itself:
xcodebuildmcp --help
xcodebuildmcp tools
xcodebuildmcp <workflow> --help
xcodebuildmcp <workflow> <tool> --helpUse this discovery path instead of memorizing static tool lists.
Step 3: Keep Execution Minimal
- Choose the smallest command sequence that satisfies the request.
- Prefer direct workflow commands over manual multi-step chains unless explicitly requested.
- For simulator run intent, prefer the combined
build-and-runcommand. - Do not chain
buildthenbuild-and-rununless explicitly requested.
Capability Overview
xcodebuildmcp supports:
- simulator and device build/test/run
- debugging and log capture
- UI automation
- project discovery and scaffolding
- session defaults and workflow configuration
Exit Criteria
- CLI presence is verified or installation steps are provided.
- Commands are discovered via
--help/tools. - Session defaults are checked before first build/run/test action.
