Questions
What is the Xcodebuild MCP server?
MCP tool for building Xcode iOS workspace/project and feeding back error to LLMs.
What tools does Xcodebuild expose?
2 in total: 1 read-only, 1 that write, and 0 that can delete or overwrite. Every one is listed on this page with its risk.
Is Xcodebuild safe to connect to an agent?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean server reads B.
What credentials does Xcodebuild need?
No credential environment variables were found in its source, so it appears to need none.
How does Xcodebuild run?
It speaks stdio, so it runs as a local process your client starts. It is published on PyPI as mcpxcodebuild.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (78225c61aa0a), read on 2026-10-07. The repository is watched and re-audited when it changes.
