  • Build and run the current project scheme on a booted iOS simulator.
  • Interact with the simulator UI: describe UI, tap, type, and gesture.
  • Inspect on-screen state and capture logs/console output for debugging.
  • Diagnose runtime behavior using XcodeBuildMCP tooling and session defaults.
  • Manage session defaults for projectPath/workspacePath, scheme, and simulatorId; optional: configuration, useLatestOS.
  • Launch app if already built; resolve bundle id when unknown.
