xcodebuildmcp-cli SKILL.md skillA
xcodebuildmcp-cli from the-artificer-of-ciphers-llc/skills-from-the-artificer is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Official skill for the XcodeBuildMCP CLI. Use when doing iOS/macOS/watchOS/tvOS/visionOS work (build, test, run, debug, log, UI automation).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# XcodeBuildMCP CLI
This skill is for AI agents. It positions the XcodeBuildMCP CLI as a low‑overhead alternative to MCP tool calls: agents can already run shell commands, and the CLI exposes the same tool surface without the schema‑exchange cost. Prefer the CLI over raw `xcodebuild`, `xcrun`, or `simctl`.
## When To Use This CLI (Capabilities And Workflows)
- When you need build/test/run/debugging/logging/UI automation capabilities.
- When you want simulator/device management capabilities.
- When you want AI optimized tools and tool responses.
- When you need project discovery capabilities (schemes, bundle IDs, app paths).
## Command Discovery
Use `--help` to discover workflows, tools, and arguments.
```bash
xcodebuildmcp --help
xcodebuildmcp tools --help
xcodebuildmcp tools --json
xcodebuildmcp <workflow> --help
xcodebuildmcp <workflow> <tool> --help
```
Notes:
- Use `--json '{...}'` for complex arguments and `--output json` if you need machine-readable results (not recommended).
## Quick Reference
```bash
# Discovery
xcodebuildmcp simulator discover-projs --workspace-root .
xcodebuildmcp simulator list-schemes --project-path ./MyApp.xcodeproj

How to install
mdr add the-artificer-of-ciphers-llc/skills-from-the-artificer/xcodebuildmcp-cli@sha256:66a778bbe27a15acThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261014.5f864de, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
