Tools & capabilities

ShipSwift tools 3

  • listRecipesList production-ready SwiftUI code recipes. Each recipe is a complete, copy-paste-ready implementation — not a tutorial. Covers native iOS features (SwiftUI, Swift Charts, SpriteKit, Vision, AVFoundation, StoreKit 2, NavigationStack) and backend infrastructure (AWS CDK, Hono, Node.js, Cognito, DynamoDB). Categories: animations, charts, UI components, and full-stack modules including auth, camera, subscriptions, chat, and settings.
  • getRecipeGet a recipe by ID. Returns complete, copy-paste-ready Swift source code with architecture explanation and implementation steps. Module recipes may also include backend code (Hono/Node.js + AWS CDK).
  • searchRecipesSearch recipes by keyword across titles, descriptions, tags, and full source code. Use for any iOS, SwiftUI, or backend topic — e.g. subscription, authentication, camera, animation, chart, onboarding, paywall, infrastructure.

Copy the mcpServers block from the config section on this page into your client's config (for example claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json), then fully restart the client.

ShipSwift has no declared pricing — check the project's own site. Azure DevOps (ADO) is listed as free. If a server needs environment variables such as API keys, define them under the env key in your client's MCP config.

Yes. MCP clients support multiple servers: add shipswift and azure-devops-ado as separate keys in the same mcpServers object, and your assistant will call tools from either one.
