All limitations / Review context

Which iOS and macOS build actions and toolchain versions remain supported?

The bounded assessment reviewed the official README, repository notices, security policy path, and security page for known material public-tracking blockers. No such blocker was identified. This is a public-tracking assessment, not an installation safety certification.

Install / connect
Publisher instructions
Publisher-specific setup path. Follow prerequisites, then register or connect to your MCP host.
publisher documented install or connect · Publisher instructions · Review before use
```
npm install -g mobilebuildmcp@latest
```
Configure / authenticate
Publisher instructions
macOS 14.5+, Xcode 16+. Client runs `npx -y mobilebuildmcp@latest mcp` or globally installed `mobilebuildmcp mcp`.
Check connection
Suggested check
`mobilebuildmcp --help`, then check MCP tool discovery; avoid running iOS builds for verification.
Remove / uninstall / revoke
MCP100 setup guide
Remove client MCP registration; `npm uninstall -g mobilebuildmcp` optionally removes global CLI.
MCP100 client-scope guidance: each CLI removal example targets only its named client and exact registered entry. Package names, Desktop/Cursor configuration keys and Codex/Claude registration names may differ; use the entry you actually registered. Client removal does not revoke provider credentials.

FAQ

Based on reviewed evidence as of 2026-10-06. Watchlist tracking is not a recommendation or a security certification.

Which tasks are documented for this implementation?

The reviewed tasks include: Work with Xcode projects; Connect Cursor, Claude or Codex; Run Apple-platform build workflows; Use optional agent skills.

What connection information is established, and what remains unverified?

A complete connection procedure is not verified. Recorded transport: stdio. Client notes: Client setup is documented for multiple coding agents. These facts do not supply missing installation commands, credentials or a verified authentication procedure.

Can it modify data or perform write operations?

Documented write actions include: Build/test operations and project-related actions. Recorded permission boundary: Can interact with local Apple development projects and build tooling.

What data-handling boundary should I consider?

Local project/build data is processed; the project documents runtime error telemetry. Recorded sensitive-access context: Local source code; Build artifacts; Potential signing context.

What limitations and risks should I check before use?

The server operates on local Apple development projects; device/signing workflows and telemetry should be reviewed before use. Requires macOS and Xcode. Some device workflows require Xcode code signing. The README documents Sentry runtime error telemetry. No independent runtime, installation, or comprehensive security audit was performed.
