What it does
The server provides natural language search access to Apple's official developer documentation through the Model Context Protocol. It enables searches across iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS frameworks—including SwiftUI, UIKit, Foundation, CoreData, and ARKit. Results include framework hierarchies, API references, WWDC session transcripts (2014–2025), Swift and Objective-C code examples, and related API discovery across all Apple platforms.
Who it's for
iOS and macOS developers who want instant access to Apple's documentation and code examples while working in AI assistants like Claude, Cursor, or VS Code. Particularly useful for those building with SwiftUI or UIKit and needing framework references during development.
Common use cases
- Query SwiftUI API documentation and view hierarchies directly from Claude while designing interfaces
- Search WWDC session transcripts and sample code for specific frameworks or technologies
- Look up UIKit controller and view APIs with compatibility information across iOS versions
- Find code examples for Core Data, ARKit, or other framework implementations
- Discover related APIs and framework dependencies when exploring unfamiliar technologies
Setup pitfalls
- A secret was detected in the repository—review its contents before installation to ensure no credentials are exposed
- Reads the local filesystem during operation; may require sandboxing or permission review in restricted environments
- Requires Node.js and
npm; the installation command usesnpxwhich fetches from the registry on each run - Makes network requests to Apple's servers; verify network and firewall configuration if behind a corporate proxy
