Installation

MobileBuildMCP ships as a single package with two modes: a CLI for direct terminal use and an MCP server for AI coding agents. Either install method gives you both.

Option A — Homebrew

brew tap getsentry/xcodebuildmcp
brew install mobilebuildmcp

Option B — npm (Node.js 18+)

npm install -g mobilebuildmcp@latest

Verify either install:

mobilebuildmcp --help

Questions

What is the Mobile Build MCP server?

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and CLI that provides tools for agent use when working on iOS and macOS projects.

What tools does Mobile Build expose?

4 in total: 4 read-only, 0 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.

Is Mobile Build safe to connect to an agent?

No — not without reading the findings first. The audit graded it D (64/100) and found 5 critical or high issues in the source. Each one is listed on this page with the file and line it is on.

What credentials does Mobile Build need?

It reads GITHUB_TOKEN from the environment. Give it a token scoped to the least it needs — an agent that can be talked into calling a tool can be talked into calling it with your credentials.

How does Mobile Build run?

It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on npm as mobilebuildmcp at 2.7.1.

How current is this page?

The grade is for one exact copy of the source (a8e6e2fdb267), read on 2026-09-24. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
