About this Server

Apple Docs 2.0 MCP connects coding assistants directly to official Apple Developer Documentation. Features full Swift and Objective-C API reference with complete signatures, the Human Interface Guidelines (HIG), App Store Connect Help, official sample code projects, and 1,700 WWDC video sessions (2014–2026) complete with timed transcripts and working code snippets.

Real-time Interaction

Direct low-latency RPC protocol communication with structured JSON schemas.

Scoped Sandboxing

Restricted capability bounds to prevent accidental modifications or leakage.

Security & Best Practices

Read-Only Upstream Access: Fetches public documentation directly from developer.apple.com without requesting local file access.

Zero Authentication: Operates completely without API keys, developer logins, or personal credentials.

Rate Limiting Compliance: Uses intelligent request queuing and exponential backoff to avoid Apple rate limits.

When to Use (and When Not To)

Best For

•Building iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and visionOS applications in Swift, SwiftUI, or UIKit
•Verifying API availability, deprecation replacements, and Xcode release notes
•Reviewing Human Interface Guidelines and App Store Connect submission requirements
•Referencing canonical code snippets and explanations from WWDC presentations

Not For / Limitations

•General cross-platform web automation and browser DOM tests (use agent-qa or Chrome DevTools MCP instead)
•Database schema branching and SQL query execution (use DBHub, Neon, or PlanetScale MCP instead)
•Server-side vector search and in-memory caches (use Qdrant or Redis MCP instead)

Install & Setup

One-line terminal command

terminal command
