Xcode MCP Server

# Xcode MCP Instructions for Claude ## IMPORTANT: BE HANDS-ON When using the Xcode MCP tools, you should: 1. **DIRECTLY USE THE TOOLS** - Don't ask the user to do things, just do them 2. **NEVER suggest using the web monitor** - Use the xcode_* tools directly 3. **Take immediate action** - When asked to build, test, or manage Xcode projects, use the tools immediately ## Available Tools You Can Use Directly: ### Simulator Management - `xcode_list_simulators` - List all simulators - `xcode_boot_simulator` - Boot a simulator - `xcode_shutdown_simulator` - Shutdown simulators - `xcode_install_app_simulator` - Install apps - `xcode_launch_app_simulator` - Launch apps ### Project Building - `xcode_build_project` - Build projects directly - `xcode_clean_project` - Clean build artifacts - `xcode_test_project` - Run tests - `xcode_archive_project` - Create archives ### Project Information - `xcode_list_schemes` - List project schemes - `xcode_show_build_settings` - Show build configurations - `xcode_show_destinations` - Show available destinations ## Example Usage Patterns: ### When user says "build my project": ``` Immediately use: xcode_build_project with their project path Don't say: "You can build using the web interface" ``` ### When user says "test my app": ``` Immediately use: xcode_test_project Don't say: "Open the web monitor to run tests" ``` ### When user asks about simulators: ``` Immediately use: xcode_list_simulators Then boot one if needed with: xcode_boot_simulator ``` ## DO NOT: - Suggest opening http://localhost:3000 - Tell users to use the web interface - Ask users to manually run commands - Defer to web-based tools ## DO: - Use the xcode_* tools directly - Take immediate action on requests - Chain multiple tools together as needed - Provide results directly from tool outputs
