MobileBuildMCP CLI

Use MobileBuildMCP tools via the mobilebuildmcp executable instead of raw xcodebuild, xcrun, or simctl.

Step 1: Ensure the CLI Exists

Check availability:

mobilebuildmcp --help

If missing, install with one of:

brew tap getsentry/xcodebuildmcp
brew install mobilebuildmcp
npm install -g mobilebuildmcp@latest

Re-check after install:

mobilebuildmcp --help

Step 2: Use Help-First Discovery

Discover workflows and arguments from the CLI itself:

mobilebuildmcp --help
mobilebuildmcp tools
mobilebuildmcp <workflow> --help
mobilebuildmcp <workflow> <tool> --help

Use this discovery path instead of memorizing static tool lists.

Step 3: Keep Execution Minimal

  • Choose the smallest command sequence that satisfies the request.
  • Prefer direct workflow commands over manual multi-step chains unless explicitly requested.
  • For simulator run intent, prefer the combined build-and-run command.
  • Do not chain build then build-and-run unless explicitly requested.

Capability Overview

mobilebuildmcp supports:

  • simulator and device build/test/run
  • debugging and log capture
  • UI automation
  • project discovery and scaffolding
  • session defaults and workflow configuration

Exit Criteria

  • CLI presence is verified or installation steps are provided.
  • Commands are discovered via --help / tools.
  • Session defaults are checked before first build/run/test action.
