apple-docs-mcp
Apple Docs MCP gives AI assistants access to Apple's developer documentation through MCP. It searches across frameworks such as SwiftUI, UIKit, Foundation, Core Data and ARKit using Apple's JSON documentation API, and returns API references, guides and Swift or Objective-C sample code for iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS and visionOS.
Beyond search, the README lists a hierarchical framework index, a technology catalogue, tracking of documentation updates and beta or deprecated APIs, related-API discovery, platform compatibility checks, and a WWDC library covering sessions from 2014 to 2025 with transcripts and code.
Setup is one npx command (`npx -y @kimsungwhee/apple-docs-mcp`) in Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and other clients, with no API key. The README also mentions a rotating user-agent pool for fetching Apple's pages. It is MIT licensed, and our data shows the last push on 2026-03-17.
