If you missed my workshop on XcodeBuildMCP then I have a gift for you!

Biggest XcodeBuildMCP update ever! 🎉 New in 2.5.0: - Completely new response formats when using CLI, you can now specify text, JSON, streamed NDJSON or raw outputs. - CLI now streams progress for long running operations like build, test, run etc. - Added support for MCP Structured Content so that agents can choose to receive JSON responses. - Published JSON schemas so your agents can verify the responses. - New `xcodebuildmcp upgrade` command so you'll never missing a new version. - Build tools now write runtime and build logs to disk and expose them in responses, agents can then tail to get latest logs. - Removed old logging tools, all tools that launch the app get logging by default. - MCP text responses are now optimised for token usage, CLI is more verbose for CI and human use workflows. - Many bugs fixes and smaller improvements. Install: `brew install getsentry/xcodebuildmcp/xcodebuildmcp` or `npm i -g xcodebuildmcp@latest` Shout out to @radeezly, @codeman9, @katta_mukunda, @JunghwanNa8355, yjmeqt, bitxeno, sebastiondev, voidborne-d, and trmquang93 for their contributions! xcodebuildmcp.com/

XcodeBuildMCP v2.3.0 is out! 🎉 🔧 MCP clients can now set session defaults via environment variables - no config file needed 📋 `xcodebuildmcp setup --format mcp-json` exports a config block for pasting into your MCP client's configuration file. 🛠️ Improved setup wizard called via `xcodebuildmcp setup` 🐛 Fixed orphaned server processes lingering after client disconnect, config file being unexpectedly modified on startup, Xcode IDE and `list-schemes` CLI flags, and Swift Package process handling. Upgrade: `brew upgrade xcodebuildmcp` Shout out to @radeezly for their contributions! 🙌 xcodebuildmcp.com/

XcodeBuildMCP v2.2.0 is out 🎉 And it's a big one! Lots of great quality of life improvements! What's new: - Code coverage tools: get_coverage_report and get_file_coverage for per-target and function-level coverage from test results. - interactive setup wizard for creating project config. - Custom workflows - define exactly which tools your agent sees. - Unified build-and-run tool for physical devices. - `init` command now generates AGENTS.md with workflow instructions. - Swift Package and test result diagnostic fixes. - CLI auto-fills arguments from session defaults and profiles. Thanks to @irangareddy, doovers, czottmann, saschagordner, and Abdulrahmansoliman xcodebuildmcp.com/

XcodeBuildMCP v2.1.0 is out 🎉. Big update!: - `xcodebuildmcp init` one command to install agent skills for Claude Code, Cursor & Codex. - Session defaults profiles: save and switch between project configurations instantly. - Faster MCP startup time. - Persistent custom env vars in session defaults. - Optimised tool descriptions to steer agent to use better optimised tools like the all-in-one build and run tool instead of individual build, install, run tool calls. Also optmised ui-automation tap tool to steer agent to use label/ids over coordinates. - Improved tool next step guidance to adapt examples to CLI or MCP depending on mode being used. - Improved build output error parsing logic. - Security hardening - Reduced Sentry data collection scope to just capture internal runtime failures and redact sensitive data. - Improved Doctor tool to remove sensitive data. If you're using the homebrew install method, make sure you run `brew update && brew upgrade xcodebuildmcp` to get latest version. Verify with `xcodebuildmcp --version`. Shout out to @kamal, @nibuio, @PocketPixels and @mahapmanoj for their contributions.

I’m excited to share that XcodeBuildMCP has been acquired by @sentry! Sentry’s long commitment to open source and growing investment in mobile make it the perfect home, which is why I’ve also joined Sentry. I’m incredibly optimistic about what's next. blog.sentry.io/sentry-acquir…

Debugging is now available in XcodeBuildMCP 2.0 beta! xitter.cf/camsoft2000/status/201…

Big news, XcodeBuildMCP 2.0 is in beta 🎉 Huge release with major breaking changes: - XcodeBuildMCP is now a CLI tool - don't like MCP servers, well, I've got you covered, all the same benefits of MCP without the upfront token cost. - Stateful CLI - Background daemons are used for stateful operations to avoid keeping the CLI process in the foreground - MCP is not going anywhere - You can still run XcodeBuildMCP in mcp mode by passing the `mcp` argument. - Only simulator tools are loaded by default (MCP mode) - configure XcodeBuildMCP to use the tools that suit your workflows without wasting precious context. Other changes: LLDB debugging tools | fewer MCP schema tokens | new config file support | persisted session defaults between sessions | pre-warmed session defaults | MCP skill | many bug fixes github.com/cameroncooke/Xcod…

XcodeBuildMCP 1.15.0 released! 🎉 Agent sets the project, simulator, scheme once, every call after just works. 📉 24.5% smaller context footprint 📉 Fewer params per call Your context window will thank you. github.com/cameroncooke/Xcod…

XcodeBuildMCP 1.15 beta.0 is now available to test! 🎉 New session aware tools, agents set project and simulator/device defaults upfront, all tools are now session aware and don't require explicit arguments. Use the beta label to try it out: `npx xcodebuildmcp@beta`

XcodeBuildMCP 1.14.1 released! 🎉 What's new: • New simulator recording tool! • New simulator, clear content and settings tool github.com/cameroncooke/Xcod…

Want tighter control over context when using XcodeBuildMCP? With Reloaderoo, you can treat the MCP server like a CLI. You’ll lose some ergonomics, but gain the ability to call tools directly with minimal context overhead. XcodeBuildMCP CLI Primer 👉 raw.githubusercontent.com/ca…

XcodeBuildMCP 1.11.2 released A small one today, just a single fix for the `clean` tool, which now works again for simulator projects! Thanks @EastlondonDev for the bug report! github.com/cameroncooke/Xcod…

Just a reminder that you can sponsor my work on XcodeBuildMCP, which goes some way to pay for the AI tooling I need to maintain the project. Thanks to all my sponsors! ♥️ github.com/sponsors/cameronc…

XcodeBuildMCP 1.12.0 released 🎉 We've lost some weight! - 59 tools is the new 81 tools - All the same functionality - 27% less LLM context used Also, you can use the new `XCODEBUILDMCP_ENABLED_WORKFLOWS` env to expose specific tool sets to shed more. github.com/cameroncooke/Xcod…

The day you’ve all been waiting for is finally here! ChatGPT 5 is merely a footnote compared to today’s launch of the state-of-the-art XcodeBuildMCP 1.11.0 🚀 This massive milestone represents two months of hard work, bringing a comprehensive refactor and substantial improvements to the project’s foundation. But that’s not all, there are exciting new features too: • Claude Code can see again – No more false positives; Claude Code now accurately identifies all build-time errors 🎯 • Dynamic Tool Discovery – Preserve your context by letting the agent intelligently and automatically enable the specific toolsets you need* 🔧 • MCP Resources – Your agent can now effortlessly access resources like available simulators and devices 📱 * With supported clients
