How do I run iOS tests with the a-25/ios-mcp-code-quality-server MCP server?

Use the `test` command with either `--xcworkspace` or `--xcodeproj` and a required `--scheme`, such as `npx ios-mcp-code-quality-server test --xcworkspace MyApp.xcworkspace --scheme MyAppTests`.

How do I run SwiftLint with the a-25/ios-mcp-code-quality-server MCP server?

Use the `lint` command with `--changed-files`; you can also provide `--config-path`, `--json`, or `--verbose`.

Does a-25/ios-mcp-code-quality-server work with Claude Desktop?

The README mentions Claude and provides a localhost MCP configuration, but it does not explicitly document Claude Desktop.

Overview

The a-25/ios-mcp-code-quality-server MCP server runs Xcode tests and SwiftLint analysis for iOS projects. It supports both direct CLI commands and MCP server mode, with structured responses, failure analysis, and file-level lint feedback. Test requests require an xcodeproj or xcworkspace path, and also need a scheme. Reach for it when an agent or CI workflow needs local iOS test execution, build-error parsing, or Swift code quality checks.

Use cases

Run Xcode tests from an AI-assisted debugging workflow

Lint changed Swift files before committing

Export test results as JSON for CI scripts

Inspect Xcode build failures with structured feedback

Key features

Xcode project and workspace test execution

SwiftLint analysis for selected files

Detailed failure and build-error analysis

JSON and verbose output modes

CLI and MCP server operation

Configurable port and logging

How Ios MCP Code Quality Server works

What a-25/ios-mcp-code-quality-server MCP server does

The a-25/ios-mcp-code-quality-server MCP server provides two related workflows for iOS development: Xcode test execution and SwiftLint-based analysis. It can be used directly from a terminal or started as an MCP server for an AI assistant. Test results include failure analysis and build-error information, while lint results can identify issues in selected Swift files and report file locations and line numbers.

The test workflow supports either an Xcode project or workspace, but at least one of xcodeproj or xcworkspace must be supplied. A scheme is also required. The lint workflow accepts a comma-separated list of changed files and can use a custom SwiftLint configuration file.

How it works

With command-line arguments, the package selects CLI mode. The test command invokes iOS tests and accepts options for a simulator or other destination, JSON output, and verbose logging. The lint command analyzes the specified files and supports JSON output, verbose logging, and a custom configuration path.

When started without arguments, the package enters MCP server mode. The explicit server command does the same and can accept a port option. The documented default is port 3000. MCP responses are structured for consumption by an AI assistant, while CLI output can be human-readable or JSON for scripts and CI workflows.

Setup and configuration

The a-25/ios-mcp-code-quality-server MCP server requires Node.js 18 or newer. Xcode is needed for project building and testing, and an iOS Simulator or physical device is needed to run tests. SwiftLint is optional and is used for lint analysis.

The documented quick-start path uses npx ios-mcp-code-quality-server for either CLI commands or server startup. A source checkout can instead be installed with npm install, built with npm run build, and started with npm start or node dist/index.js server.

Configuration is available through environment variables. PORT sets the listening port and defaults to 3000; NODE_ENV defaults to development; and LOG_LEVEL defaults to info. Additional documented settings cover server identity, allowed hosts, rate limits, session cleanup, and concurrent task limits.

Tools and capabilities

The documented MCP capabilities include:

Executing iOS tests for an Xcode project or workspace.
Selecting a test scheme and destination.
Returning detailed test failure and build-error analysis.
Running SwiftLint against specified changed files.
Applying a supplied SwiftLint configuration path.
Producing structured or JSON-oriented results for assistant and automation workflows.

Limitations and notes

This server is designed for local iOS development environments rather than a hosted testing service. Its test functions depend on Xcode and an available iOS runtime or device. SwiftLint analysis depends on SwiftLint being installed. Test requests cannot omit both project inputs: either xcodeproj or xcworkspace is mandatory.

The README shows an HTTP endpoint at http://localhost:3000 for assistant configuration. It names Claude and Copilot as example assistant integrations but does not provide client-specific setup for every MCP application. All analysis is described as taking place on the local machine.

The a-25/ios-mcp-code-quality-server MCP server exposes configuration defaults, but the provided material does not identify any required API keys or external paid services.
