MobileBuildMCP released: MCP server and CLI for iOS/macOS projects

Decision Brief

What changedSentry launches MobileBuildMCP, an MCP server and CLI for iOS and macOS projects, giving coding agents build and test capabilities.
Why it mattersFor developers building iOS/macOS projects with Cursor or Claude Code, agents can now directly invoke xcodebuild to build simulators, run tests, and manage devices instead of hand-assembling terminal commands.

MobileBuildMCP is released by getsentry as a single package offering two modes: a directly usable CLI and an MCP server for AI coding agents, installable via Homebrew or npm (Node.js 18+ required). It requires macOS 14.5+ and Xcode 16.x+. Two optional agent skills are bundled, teaching agents to use the MCP tools and CLI commands, installable with mobilebuildmcp init or npx. The CLI covers simulator builds, test artifact preparation and execution; for example, mobilebuildmcp simulator build can specify scheme, project path, and simulator name. The tool asks xcodebuild to skip macro validation to avoid build errors in Swift Macros projects, and device tools require code signing configured in Xcode. The CLI uses a workspace-launched daemon for stateful operations like log capture and debugging. For iOS/macOS developers using clients like Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex, this MCP server can plug into existing workflows so agents trigger builds and tests directly in conversation without switching to the terminal. The project is MIT licensed, reports only internal runtime error telemetry via Sentry, and offers an opt-out.
