Overview
What is Xcode Monitor MCP Server?
A comprehensive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server for monitoring Swift/Xcode projects. It provides real‑time diagnostics, build status, and project information to AI assistants such as Claude Desktop and Windsurf. Intended for developers working with Xcode projects who want AI‑assisted monitoring and debugging.
How to use Xcode Monitor MCP Server?
Install the MCP library (pip3 install --break-system-packages mcp), clone the repository, then configure Claude Desktop or Windsurf with the provided JSON configuration. The server is started by running working_swift_mcp_server.py with a --swiftpath argument pointing to the project directory. After connection, AI assistants can call tools like get_project_status(), get_diagnostics(), and get_recent_updates().
Key features of Xcode Monitor MCP Server
- Real‑time Xcode project monitoring (workspaces, projects, schemes)
- Live Swift/Xcode build errors and warnings
- SourceKit‑LSP status monitoring
- Build server configuration and monitoring
- File change detection for Swift, Objective‑C, and C/C++ files
- Multi‑platform support (Claude Desktop and Windsurf)
Use cases of Xcode Monitor MCP Server
- Ask an AI assistant “Are there any build errors in my Swift code?”
- Get live diagnostics directly from Xcode without opening Xcode itself
- Monitor a project for file changes during active development
- Check SourceKit‑LSP status and build server configuration
- Obtain a quick summary of recent project updates and build status
Frequently asked questions
How do I install the server?
Install the MCP library with `pip3 install --break-system-packages mcp`, clone the repository, then update the MCP server configuration for Claude Desktop (`claude_desktop_config.json`) or Windsurf (`settings.json`) with the absolute path to `working_swift_mcp_server.py`.
How can I check for connection issues?
Restart the application (Claude Desktop or Windsurf), then check log files: `tail -f ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/logs/mcp-server-xcode_monitor.log`. You can also test the server manually with `python3 XcodeMonitor/working_swift_mcp_server.py --help`.
How do I get help with Windsurf‑specific problems?
If you see “npx not found”, use full paths to executables in the configuration. Restart both applications if they interfere with each other. Detailed guidance is provided in the `WINDSURF_TROUBLESHOOTING.md` file.
What monitoring capabilities does the server have?
It can report on workspaces and projects (`.xcworkspace`, `.xcodeproj`), build status (success/failure), file changes for Swift/Objective‑C/C++ files, and diagnostics from Xcode live logs, XCLogParser, SourceKit‑LSP, and SwiftPM build logs.
