## About

MCP server and CLI (now published as MobileBuildMCP by Sentry, formerly XcodeBuildMCP) for working on iOS and macOS projects. Agents can build and run on simulators, devices and macOS, launch apps, capture logs and run tests. Requires macOS 14.5+ and Xcode 16+.

   ```toml
   [mcp_servers.xcodebuildmcp]
   command = "npx"
   args = ["-y", "mobilebuildmcp@latest", "mcp"]
   ```

   Agents SDK:

   ```python
   from agents import Agent, Runner
   from agents.mcp import MCPServerStdio
   
   async with MCPServerStdio(
       name="XcodeBuildMCP",
       params={"command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "mobilebuildmcp@latest", "mcp"]},
   ) as server:
       agent = Agent(name="Assistant", mcp_servers=[server])
       result = await Runner.run(agent, "Build and run my app on the iPhone 17 simulator")
       print(result.final_output)
