}Apple Docs MCP Server is a third-party MCP server for querying Apple Developer Documentation from Claude and other MCP clients. It can search framework symbols, fetch documentation pages, retrieve sample code references, summarize documentation updates, inspect platform compatibility, explore technology overviews, and search WWDC session metadata.
Use it when an Apple-platform task needs current API context without manually opening multiple Apple documentation pages. It is especially useful for Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit, macOS, iOS, watchOS, tvOS, visionOS, sample-code, and WWDC research prompts.
These sources were reviewed on 2026-06-05. Prefer the live repository, README, package metadata, license, server entrypoint, tool definitions, doc fetcher, sample-code tool, updates tool, technology overview tool, framework symbol search, WWDC handlers, WWDC data, and npm registry metadata for current installation and tool behavior.
npx.Add the package to Claude Code:
claude mcp add apple-docs -- npx -y @kimsungwhee/apple-docs-mcp@latest
For JSON-based MCP clients, use:
{
"mcpServers": {
"apple-docs": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@kimsungwhee/apple-docs-mcp@latest"]
}
}
}
Restart the MCP client after adding the server.
This server is for public documentation lookup, but prompts can still leak private development context. Keep proprietary code, unreleased app plans, customer requirements, internal project names, private bundle identifiers, and roadmap details out of documentation prompts unless that disclosure is approved.
Documentation can change, and beta or deprecated APIs need extra care. Verify compatibility-sensitive guidance against the live Apple documentation before shipping platform code.

| Safety notes | ✓This is a third-party MCP server, not an official Apple project. The server retrieves public documentation and metadata, but user queries can still reveal private project context to the MCP client, model provider, logs, and network services. Documentation answers should be checked against the live Apple documentation before shipping platform-specific, beta, deprecated, or compatibility-sensitive code. Use `@latest` intentionally when you want the newest package; pin a version when reproducible builds or locked team tooling are required. | ✓The hosted MCP endpoint is documentation-focused and read-only, but generated SQL and migration advice still needs human review before execution. Documentation search results can influence schema design, indexes, retention policies, and extension setup, so test generated SQL in development first. Self-hosted deployments need database credentials and embedding configuration; keep those scoped to the docs database, not production application data. The package can expose stdio and HTTP transports; bind local HTTP deployments only where intended and protect any non-local endpoint. | ✓Agent Device MCP exposes structured tools backed by `AgentDeviceClient`; the docs state it does not expose generic shell execution over MCP. Tools and CLI workflows can open apps, inspect UI, tap, type, scroll, perform gestures, wait, assert state, handle alerts, and close sessions. Evidence workflows can capture screenshots, recordings, logs, traces, network traffic, performance samples, crash context, React profiles, and replay files. Mutating commands should run serially against one session, and separate sessions or devices should be used for parallel work. Prefer dedicated test devices or simulators, and require approval before entering credentials, submitting forms, changing settings, installing apps, sending messages, or touching production accounts. | ✓AI Game Developer can create, move, copy, modify, and delete Unity assets, scenes, GameObjects, components, scripts, packages, and generated project files. Tools include dynamic C# script execution, C# reflection method lookup and calls, package installation/removal, Unity test execution, editor state changes, play mode control, screenshots, and profiler access. The MCP server supports streamable HTTP and stdio; HTTP deployments should require a bearer token and stay bound to trusted interfaces. Server variables include optional authorization and webhook settings; webhook endpoints can receive tool, prompt, resource, connection, and authorization events. Unity runtime connections can expose compiled game state or in-game behavior to an MCP client, not just editor-only project data. Use source control, backups, tool filtering, and explicit review before allowing destructive tools such as asset deletion, package removal, script execution, or reflection calls. |
| Privacy notes | ✓Prompts and tool calls may include framework names, API choices, platform targets, WWDC interests, sample-code requests, app architecture details, feature plans, and compatibility constraints. MCP client logs and model transcripts can retain documentation queries and returned API text outside Apple's documentation site. Avoid sending proprietary source code, unreleased product names, customer requirements, private bundle identifiers, or internal roadmap details when a public documentation lookup is enough. | ✓Queries sent to the hosted MCP endpoint may reveal database names, schema intent, performance problems, product plans, or internal architecture details. Self-hosted semantic search can send queries or documentation chunks to the configured embedding provider unless a local compatible endpoint is used. Tool outputs can contain excerpts from PostgreSQL, TimescaleDB, Tiger Cloud, or PostGIS documentation that are then included in the model context. Do not include customer data, credentials, production connection strings, or private incident details when a generalized documentation query is enough. | ✓Screenshots, recordings, traces, logs, network dumps, replay files, reports, UI snapshots, typed input, and React profiles can contain private UI state, tokens, request data, customer information, or credentials. macOS, iOS, Android, and TV automation can expose local app state, notifications, device names, package identifiers, app content, system dialogs, and permission prompts. Network inspection artifacts may include headers, payloads, session identifiers, URLs, and API data; review before sharing or committing. Interactive CLI runs may check npm for newer package versions unless `AGENT_DEVICE_NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER=1` is set. | ✓Tool calls may expose Unity project paths, asset names, scene hierarchy, serialized object data, scripts, logs, screenshots, profiler metrics, test output, package metadata, and runtime state. MCP config files and Unity plugin config can contain server URLs, connection modes, bearer tokens, authorization settings, enabled tool IDs, and cloud or local endpoint details. Optional webhooks can receive tool, prompt, resource, connection, authorization, and token-bearing request data. Screenshots from Game View, Scene View, cameras, or isolated GameObjects may include proprietary artwork, level design, UI, debug overlays, or unreleased game content. Generated skills and AI-client configuration files can reveal available tools, project structure, installed packages, and local workflow assumptions. |
