claude_desktop_config.json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xcodebuild": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "xcodebuild"
      ]

}

Add this to your Claude Desktop config file. Find it at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS.

What this does

xcodebuild exposes a set of tools to Claude over the Model Context Protocol. After you add it to claude_desktop_config.json (snippet above) and restart Claude Desktop, those tools become callable inside any conversation. That makes it useful when you want Claude to reach into your developer tooling without copy-pasting context every turn.

Common use cases

  • Drive your build, test, lint, or deploy commands from a chat session
  • Pull CI status, commit metadata, or PR review state into context
  • Inspect or scaffold project boilerplate without leaving Claude
