Copy this message into a Claude chat. The AI checks your computer, tells you which file it will change, and waits for your OK every time.

Please install the MCP server Xcode: MCP Bridge Wrapper for Cursor for Claude on this computer, in this order: 1) Check uv with uv --version. If it is missing, tell me to install it from https://docs.astral.sh/uv/getting-started/installation/; do not install it yourself. 2) Use only this config (already checked by PopNx MCP): { "mcpServers": { "mcpbridge-wrapper": { "command": "uvx", "args": [ "mcpbridge-wrapper" ] } } } 3) Tell me the full path of the file you will change, or the command you will run, and wait for my OK. 4) No key is needed. 5) Do what we agreed, then check that the Xcode: MCP Bridge Wrapper for Cursor tools really show up.

Common questions

Is Xcode: MCP Bridge Wrapper for Cursor safe?

It passed 3 of 3 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed 2 months ago, and the latest version (0.1.6) reached the registry 9 months ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Python (uv) on your computer.

What can I use instead?

Xcode MCP Bridge Wrapper

mcpbridge-wrapper connects external MCP clients to Xcode through Apple's xcrun mcpbridge. It repairs Xcode tool responses that declare an outputSchema but omit structuredContent. The repair works in both direct and broker modes. Broker mode also lets several clients share one persistent Xcode connection, reducing repeated connection prompts.

Compatibility

Component	Support in 0.5.0
Xcode	26.3+ and 27.0 on macOS; Xcode 27.0 handshake and tool discovery verified
MCP clients	Clients using the `initialize` lifecycle; check the protocol used by your client version
MCP 2026-07-28	Not supported by 0.5.0; the sessionless implementation remains experimental on a separate branch
Python	3.9-3.12; `uvx` manages its own environment

The wrapper does not bundle Xcode tools. It exposes the catalog returned by the installed Xcode, so tool names and availability can change with Xcode updates and permissions. The Xcode 27.0 catalog observed with build 27A266a is listed below.

Quick Start

Install uv and Xcode 26.3 or newer. Xcode 27.0 is supported.
In Xcode > Settings > Intelligence > Model Context Protocol, enable Allow external agents to use Xcode tools. Open the project you want to use in Xcode. See Apple's setup guide.
Add one of the client configurations below. Pin 0.5.0 to keep the legacy MCP contract when a future major release becomes available.
Start the client and approve the Xcode access prompt if shown. After approval, reload or reconnect the MCP server in the client so it fetches tools/list again, then verify with a real Xcode tool call. A green MCP indicator alone only confirms the handshake.

Broker mode is recommended for multiple clients. All examples use the same per-user daemon. The first client starts it; subsequent clients reuse it.

Cursor

Add to ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

"mcpServers": { "xcode-tools": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["--from", "mcpbridge-wrapper==0.5.0", "mcpbridge-wrapper", "--broker"] } } }

Codex

Add to ~/.codex/config.toml and restart Codex:

[mcp_servers.xcode-tools]

command = "uvx" args = ["--from", "mcpbridge-wrapper==0.5.0", "mcpbridge-wrapper", "--broker"]

Zed

Add inside ~/.config/zed/settings.json under the top-level context_servers key, then disable and re-enable the server in Settings > AI > MCP Servers:

"context_servers": { "xcode-tools": { "command": "uvx", "args": ["--from", "mcpbridge-wrapper==0.5.0", "mcpbridge-wrapper", "--broker"], "env": {} } } }

See Zed's MCP configuration guide for the settings UI and server status indicator.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport stdio xcode -- uvx --from 'mcpbridge-wrapper==0.5.0' mcpbridge-wrapper --broker

For a single client that does not need the shared daemon, remove --broker from its command to use direct mode. Manual installation and Web UI options are covered in the installation, broker, and Web UI guides.

Xcode 27.0 Approval and Verification

Xcode 27.0 may ask for permission for the broker host process and for the project folder. The prompt identifies the Python executable and PID, not the editor name. A new uvx host identity may need a fresh approval even if an older Python installation was already permitted. Approve access only when the path and project are expected.

If a tool reports that the agent is not approved, use XcodeOpenWorkspace with the absolute path of an existing .xcodeproj or .xcworkspace to request access, approve the prompt in Xcode, then retry the read-only tool. Do not treat a successful tools/list or a green client status dot as proof that Xcode tool calls are authorized. Check Xcode's state with:

xcrun mcp-server status

uvx --from 'mcpbridge-wrapper==0.5.0' mcpbridge-wrapper --broker-status

The second command should show Proxy version: 0.5.0 and Daemon version: 0.5.0. If an older daemon is still running, stop it once and reconnect the clients:

uvx --from 'mcpbridge-wrapper==0.5.0' mcpbridge-wrapper --broker-stop

Stopping the singleton temporarily disconnects every client using it. The next --broker connection starts a new daemon. For a stable long-lived host identity, see the dedicated broker host.

Xcode 27.0 Tools

tools/list exposed 54 tools on Xcode 27.0 build 27A266a during a local smoke test. This is an observed catalog, not a hard-coded wrapper API. Xcode 27 adds workspace creation/opening, simulator interaction, run and debugger control, build configuration, localization, and crash/field insight tools. See Apple's Xcode 27 release notes.

Workspaces and targets: XcodeListWorkspaces, XcodeOpenWorkspace, XcodeCloseWorkspace, XcodeNewProject, XcodeNewTarget, XcodeListTargets, XcodeListTemplates, XcodeListSchemes, XcodeSwitchScheme, XcodeListRunDestinations, XcodeSwitchRunDestination, XcodeListTestPlans, XcodeSwitchTestPlan.
Files and diagnostics: XcodeRead, XcodeWrite, XcodeUpdate, XcodeLS, XcodeGlob, XcodeGrep, XcodeMakeDir, XcodeMV, XcodeRM, XcodeRefreshCodeIssuesInFile.
Build, test, run, and debug: BuildProject, GetBuildLog, GetTestList, RunAllTests, RunSomeTests, RunProject, StopProject, GetConsoleOutput, InvokeDebuggerCommand, GetFileCompilerFlags, UpdateFileCompilerFlags, GetTargetBuildSettings, UpdateTargetBuildSetting.
Device interaction: DeviceInteractionStartSession, DeviceInteractionStartWorkspaceSession, DeviceInteractionInstallAndRun, DeviceInteractionSynthesize, DeviceInteractionEndSession.
Localization: LocalizationPlanner, StringCatalogContext, StringCatalogRead, StringCatalogEdit.
Crash and field insights: GetTopCrashIssues, GetCrashIssueLogs, GetTopFieldPerformanceIssues, GetFieldPerformanceIssueLogs.
Previews and reference: RenderPreview, DocumentationSearch, RunCodeSnippet.
Project metadata: AddEntitlement, AddInfoPlist.

In this catalog, the older XcodeListWindows name is absent; use XcodeListWorkspaces to inspect workspaces after Xcode approval. Tool calls such as builds, file edits, and device interaction can change project or device state. Start with read-only calls when validating a new setup.
