MobileBuildMCP

Overview

MobileBuildMCP from Sentry is an MCP server and CLI with tools for AI agents working on iOS and macOS projects. One package gives you both modes: a CLI for the terminal and an MCP server for coding agents. It also ships optional skills that teach agents how to use it.

Features

• Builds for the simulator from a scheme and project path
• Prepares portable test products and runs them later
• Lists its available tools
• Optional MCP and CLI skills that prime the agent
• Config snippets for Cursor, Claude Code and Codex in the docs

Requirements

• macOS 14.5 or later
• Xcode 16.x or later
• Node.js 18.x or later (not needed for Homebrew)

Install

1. Homebrew

   brew tap getsentry/xcodebuildmcp
   brew install mobilebuildmcp

2. Or npm

   npm install -g mobilebuildmcp@latest

3. Install the agent skills

   mobilebuildmcp init

Example

Run mobilebuildmcp simulator build --scheme MyApp --project-path ./MyApp.xcodeproj, or let your agent call the same tool through mobilebuildmcp mcp.
