Xcode MCP Windows
Overview
Use this skill to discover the Xcode tabs that MCP can control. This is the lightweight entry point before build, diagnostic, test, preview, or snippet workflows when the user only needs workspace/tab visibility.
Tool Availability
Before calling MCP tools, confirm the mcp__xcode namespace is available. If it is not available, use tool_search to expose Xcode MCP tools; if the tools still are not available, tell the user Xcode MCP is not connected.
Workflow
- Call
mcp__xcode.XcodeListWindows. - Report each
tabIdentifierand workspace/project path returned by Xcode. - If no windows are returned, ask the user to open the target workspace or project in Xcode.
- If multiple windows are returned and a follow-up action is implied, ask which tab/workspace should be used unless the requested path clearly matches one entry.
Reporting
- Keep the output short and copyable.
- Preserve exact
tabIdentifiervalues. - State whether there is a single obvious default tab for subsequent Xcode MCP actions.
