What it does
This MCP server provides programmatic access to Apple's official developer documentation through natural language queries. It indexes Swift/Objective-C APIs, framework references, WWDC videos (2014–2025 with transcripts), and code examples across iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS. Search is powered by Apple's JSON API rather than web scraping, and results include platform compatibility metadata, deprecated API warnings, and links to sample projects.
Who it's for
Swift and Objective-C developers building for Apple platforms who want documentation and code examples available during AI-assisted coding. Useful for developers new to frameworks like SwiftUI, UIKit, or domain-specific APIs (ARKit, Core ML, Vision) who benefit from contextual reference material. Also serves teams integrating Claude or Cursor into their development workflow.
Common use cases
- Ask Claude for SwiftUI view alternatives when refactoring UIKit code
- Query API signatures, availability, and deprecation status for iOS 13+ compatibility checks
- Search WWDC session transcripts to understand framework design decisions
- Retrieve Swift code examples for integrating Vision or Core ML into a project
- Discover related APIs and framework-specific patterns (e.g., SwiftUI to UIKit equivalents)
Setup pitfalls
- One secret detected in the repository — review the code before deploying to production environments
- Reads filesystem during operation — ensure appropriate permission scoping in restricted environments
- Last commit was 80 days ago — verify the package works with current versions of Apple's documentation API
