ShipSwift Overview
The ShipSwift MCP server gives AI coding tools access to SwiftUI recipes, including components, charts, animations, and app modules. It connects over HTTP at `https://api.shipswift.app/mcp` and exposes tools for listing, searching, and retrieving recipes. Reach for it when an agent needs documented SwiftUI implementation patterns instead of generating UI code without a reference. The repository also includes local skills and source files for offline use without MCP.
Primary Use Cases for ShipSwift:
- Find reusable SwiftUI animation recipes
- Retrieve chart implementation examples
- Build authentication or chat interfaces
- Inspect recipes while generating an iOS app
