Xcode Test Skill
Build, install, and test iOS apps on the simulator using XcodeBuildMCP. Captures screenshots, logs, and verifies app behavior.
Prerequisites
- Xcode installed with command-line tools
- XcodeBuildMCP MCP server connected
- Valid Xcode project or workspace
- At least one iOS Simulator available
Workflow
0. Verify XcodeBuildMCP is Available
Check that the XcodeBuildMCP MCP server is connected by calling its list_simulators tool.
MCP tool names vary by platform:
- Claude Code:
mcp__xcodebuildmcp__list_simulators - Other platforms: use the equivalent MCP tool call for the
XcodeBuildMCPserver'slist_simulatorsmethod
If the tool is not found or errors, inform the user they need to add the XcodeBuildMCP MCP server:
XcodeBuildMCP not installed
Install via Homebrew:
brew tap getsentry/xcodebuildmcp && brew install xcodebuildmcp
Or via npx (no global install needed):
npx -y xcodebuildmcp@latest mcp
Then add "XcodeBuildMCP" as an MCP server in your agent configuration
and restart your agent.
Do NOT proceed until XcodeBuildMCP is confirmed working.
