Setup guide

Set up XcodeBuildMCP in Windsurf

partnerunknownhealthy

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

01Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xcodebuildmcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "xcodebuildmcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Add this to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json. Generated from the captured install method (npx); the mcpServers shape is shared across Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and VS Code.

Open ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json and add the block above (merge into any existing mcpServers).

Restart Windsurf and confirm XcodeBuildMCP’s tools appear.
