Does it work with existing Xcode projects?

Yes, as long as the project is open in Xcode and the mcpbridge is active, Claude can interact with your project's views and environment.

Can I visualize SwiftUI changes immediately?

Yes, by using the RenderPreview tool, you can visualize specific SwiftUI views based on your current file path directly through the MCP connection.

What is required to use this skill?

You need Xcode installed and must register the native MCP bridge using the command: claude mcp add xcode -- xcrun mcpbridge.

How does this differ from XcodeBuildMCP?

While XcodeBuildMCP focuses on building and testing, this skill provides UI previews, REPL execution, and documentation search which are exclusive to the native bridge.

Mobile Development

Enables real-time SwiftUI previews, Swift code execution, and Apple documentation searches within Claude Code via the Xcode native MCP.

This skill bridges Claude Code with Xcode's native MCP server to provide essential iOS development features that go beyond standard build tools. It allows developers to render SwiftUI previews directly, execute Swift code snippets in a REPL environment, and query official Apple documentation without leaving the terminal interface. By integrating these native capabilities, it streamlines the iOS development workflow, making it significantly easier to iterate on UI components, test logic fragments, and reference API details using live feedback and AI-assisted insights.
