mcpxcodebuild
The mcpxcodebuild server enables building and testing iOS Xcode workspaces/projects directly from Visual Studio Code.
Build iOS Xcode projects: Build an iOS Xcode workspace/project by specifying the path to the folder containing the project.
Run tests for iOS Xcode projects: Execute tests for an iOS Xcode workspace/project in a specified folder.
Seamless integration with VS Code: Works with extensions like Cline or Roo Code for a streamlined iOS development workflow.
Flexible installation options: Can be installed using
uv(recommended) orpip.
Click on "Install Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type
@followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@mcpxcodebuildbuild the iOS project in /Users/dev/MyApp and show me any errors"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
