XcodeBuildMCP now includes two optional agent skills:
-
MCP Skill: Primes the agent with instructions on how to use the MCP server's tools (optional when using the MCP server).
-
CLI Skill: Primes the agent with instructions on how to navigate the CLI (recommended when using the CLI).
Install via the interactive installer and follow the on-screen instructions.

Use the skill content as a concise, static instruction prompt:
- Open
skills/xcodebuildmcp[-cli]/SKILL.md. - Copy the body (everything below the YAML frontmatter).
- Paste it into the client’s global or project-level instructions/rules area.
