Xcodemcp
This server gives Claude direct control over Xcode through JavaScript for Automation, not just xcodebuild. You get build, run, test, and debug operations that actually manipulate the Xcode GUI, plus it parses build logs with XCLogParser to surface precise error locations. It includes project management tools and can extract test results from XCResult bundles. Now that Apple ships an official Xcode MCP, this one offers a sidekick mode that focuses on complementary features like XCResult analysis and project inspection while letting Apple's server handle the core build operations. Ships with a full CLI if you want to run commands outside the MCP context.

Using with Apple's Official Xcode MCP: Apple now provides an official Xcode MCP server. XcodeMCP can run alongside it in sidekick mode (
--sidekick-only), providing complementary tools like project management and XCResult analysis. In a future version, XcodeMCP will transition to sidekick-only mode by default. See configuration below.
XcodeMCP
Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that controls Xcode directly through JavaScript for Automation (JXA). Available as both an MCP server and a standalone CLI.
