Does xcodebuild support building both workspaces and individual projects?

Yes, the tool provides two commands: `build` and `test`, each requiring the full path to the folder containing either a workspace or a project. It will compile or run tests accordingly.

What is required to integrate xcodebuild with an LLM like Claude?

Add a configuration entry in Claude’s settings: for uv use `mcpServers:{mcpxcodebuild:{command:uvx,args:[mcpxcodebuild]}}`; for pip use `mcpServers:{mcpxcodebuild:{command:python,args:[m mcpxcodebuild]}}`. This registers the server so the LLM can invoke build or test commands.

How do I install and run xcodebuild for my project?

You can install it with uv (recommended) or pip. With uv, run `uvx mcp-xcodebuild`. With pip, install via `pip install mcpxcodebuild` and execute `python m mcpxcodebuild`. After installation, call the tool from your workspace path.
