Common questions
Is Apple Docs 2.0 MCP safe?
It passed 1 of 1 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 –, and the latest version (3.0.0) reached the registry 21 days ago.
Which apps can use it?
Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js on your computer.
What can I use instead?
In the same category: GitHub, Desktop Commander, Cloudflare MCP

Apple Docs 2.0 MCP
One MCP for Apple's developer documentation, design guidelines and WWDC sessions.
Building your next iOS app with an agent? Let it read Apple's own docs first: fewer rewrites, fewer interruptions.
Quick Start · What's New · Installation · Usage · Tools · Architecture · Development
npx -y apple-docs-2.0-mcp
Apple Developer Documentation for AI assistants, through the Model Context Protocol: API reference, articles, sample code, tutorials, the Human Interface Guidelines, App Store Connect Help, the web-service APIs (App Store Connect API, App Store Server API and others) and 1,700 WWDC sessions with their transcripts and code, in Claude, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client.
Apple Docs 2.0 MCP is a fork of Apple Docs MCP by kimsungwhee, improved with additions, fixes and a new tool.
🚀 Quick Start
Claude Desktop (Recommended)
Add this to your Claude Desktop configuration:
macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json
{"mcpServers": { "apple-docs": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "apple-docs-2.0-mcp"] } } }
Note: If you encounter issues with an old version being used, add
@latestto force the latest version:
`json
"args": ["-y", "apple-docs-2.0-mcp@latest"]
`
Restart Claude Desktop and start asking about Apple APIs!
Claude Code
claude mcp add apple-docs -- npx -y apple-docs-2.0-mcpAsk your agent
Look up NavigationStack in Apple's docs, then show me the WWDC code that uses it.🆕 What's New in 2.0
Apple Docs 2.0 MCP keeps everything Apple Docs MCP 1.0.26 does and fixes what stopped working or came back incomplete, so your assistant answers from Apple's own documentation instead of guessing.
🔍 Search that returns results
search_apple_docs is fixed: it now uses the same search service Apple's website uses, so your assistant gets the results you would see on developer.apple.com: API reference, articles, sample code, design guidelines, App Store Connect Help and WWDC videos. In the original, searches come back empty since Apple changed its search page.
Ask about an API, a design guideline or an App Store process, and the assistant searches first, then reads the pages it finds.
🗺️ Look up any page by name
A new tool, search_docs_map, finds any of 336,723 pages by name, or part of one, offline:
- API symbols: types, methods, properties, enum cases, macros
- articles and sample code
- Info.plist and entitlement keys
- web-service endpoints, such as the App Store Connect API's
- Human Interface Guidelines and App Store Connect Help pages
Use it when you already know a name, from code or an error message, to open its page directly.
📄 Complete documentation pages
Pages come through whole, as on Apple's site: every method and property with its full signature (var view: UIView!, not just view), what a type inherits from and conforms to, related APIs, and the OS versions that support it. 2.0 also reads the Human Interface Guidelines, tutorials, App Store Connect Help, and App Store Connect API endpoints with their parameters and responses.
Ask about any API, guideline or App Store Connect topic, and the assistant reads the full page before it answers or writes code.
🎥 WWDC 2014–2026, with code
1,700 sessions are built in, WWDC26 included, and work offline: transcripts for 1,416 of them, each paragraph with the time it starts, chapters for 480, and code samples for 715, each sample with the time it appears in the video. Sessions are filed under the same topics as on Apple's website.
Ask how a new API works, and the assistant can quote the WWDC session that introduced it, with its code.
📋 Complete framework lists
The original's technology list stopped after 200 entries, so whole categories (Graphics and Games, Media, System, Web) never appeared, and its symbol search mixed in headings with broken links. 2.0 lists everything, marks frameworks in beta, and finds frameworks by subject: "Machine learning" returns Core ML, Create ML, Foundation Models, Vision and more.
Ask which frameworks fit a task, such as machine learning or audio, and the assistant compares the full list.
🛠️ Built to keep working
Up-to-date dependencies, requests that look like a normal browser's and wait their turn (Apple returns empty searches when they come too fast), automatic retries when a request fails, and 207 automated tests. All 63 usage examples in the original's README run without errors.
Nothing to set up: no API key or account.
✨ Features
- 🔍 Search: Apple's documentation, design guidelines, sample code, App Store Connect Help and WWDC sessions in one search, or one of them alone
- 🗺️ Docs map: find any page by its title, even a method or property name, without a network request
- 📚 Documentation pages: Swift and Objective-C APIs, articles, tutorials and web-service references as Markdown
- 🎨 Human Interface Guidelines: every HIG page, searchable and readable
- 🏪 App Store Connect Help: product page fields, review, TestFlight, pricing
- 🔧 Framework symbols: browse a framework's classes, structs, protocols and members by wildcard
- 🔗 API relationships: related, similar and referenced APIs, and replacements for deprecated ones
- 📊 Platform compatibility: the version that introduced and deprecated an API on each platform
- 📋 Technology catalog: every Apple framework and technology by category, beta ones marked
- 📰 Documentation updates: release notes, framework updates and WWDC "What's new" pages
- 🎯 Technology overviews: Apple's guides to app design, games, AI and machine learning, data and more
- 💻 Sample code: every sample project, ranked by Apple's search, and the Sample Code Library by framework or section, with summaries and Download links
- 🎥 WWDC library: 1,700 sessions from 2014 to 2026 with transcripts, timed code examples, resources and related sessions, offline
