What problem does it solve?

Build, run, and debug iOS apps on a booted Simulator using MCP tools to manage builds, launches, UI inspection, and logs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Build and run the current project scheme on a booted iOS Simulator using XcodeBuildMCP.
  • Interact with the running app UI via snapshot_ui, tap, type_text, and other UI commands, and capture logs for diagnostics.
  • Access and control MCP servers directly with mcp_get_tools and mcp_call_tool for streamlined debugging workflows.

Quick Start

Boot an iOS Simulator, then use mcp_get_tools to discover the MCP server and mcp_call_tool to build, launch, and inspect the app.
