## What xcode-mcp does, in the publisher's words

Use the Xcode MCP bridge (xcrun mcpbridge) to build, test, fix, document, and manage Xcode projects.

The generated Claude Code adapter retains xcode-build-fix as a client-only agent wrapper for xcode-build-and-fix.

Xcode must be open with external agent access enabled under Settings > Intelligence > Model Context Protocol.
