## Description

This MCP server provides Xcode build automation and project management by enabling AI assistants to control Xcode through JavaScript for Automation (JXA) scripts, offering tools for opening projects, building with specific schemes and destinations, running tests, debugging, and parsing build logs with detailed error reporting. Built by Felix Lapalme using Node.js and the MCP SDK, it integrates with XCLogParser for professional build log analysis, supports comprehensive project operations including scheme management, run destination selection, and file navigation, and features intelligent build monitoring with retry logic and log stability detection. The implementation uses macOS-specific AppleScript automation to directly control Xcode's workspace documents and build processes, making it valuable for iOS/macOS developers who want AI assistance in automating Xcode workflows, debugging build failures, and managing complex multi-scheme projects without leaving their development environment.
