README

# @doublespeed/mcp

An MCP server that gives a coding agent a Mac. Build, test, archive and run iOS apps — native, React Native, Expo — on the [doublespeed](https://mac.doublespeed.ai) Mac fleet from Linux, a container, CI, or a Mac without Xcode.

Tool names match [XcodeBuildMCP](https://github.com/getsentry/XcodeBuildMCP) (`build_sim`, `test_sim`, `build_run_sim`, `list_sims`, `discover_projs`, `list_schemes`, `stop_app_sim`, `doctor`) so prompts and skills written for a local Mac work unchanged when there is no Mac.

## Install

Needs Node 20+. `check_project` works with no key at all; everything else needs a `DS_API_KEY` (free $200 of Mac time at https://mac.doublespeed.ai/dashboard → API keys).

**Claude Code**
```bash
claude mcp add doublespeed -e DS_API_KEY=dsx_... -- npx -y @doublespeed/mcp
```

**Cursor / Windsurf / Codex / VS Code** — add to the client's MCP config:
```json
{ "mcpServers": { "doublespeed": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@doublespeed/mcp"], "env": { "DS_API_KEY": "dsx_..." } } } }
```

## Tools

| Tool | What it does | Where it runs |
|---|---|---|
| `discover_projs` | find .xcworkspace / .xcodeproj / Package.swift | local |
| `list_schemes` | shared schemes of a project/workspace | local |
| `list_sims` | simulators, runtimes and Xcode versions on the fleet | API |
| `check_project` | **no key needed** — schemes resolve, every Swift file parses, plists valid (lint, no compile) | Mac |
| `build_sim` | compile for the iOS Simulator; `file:line:col` errors | Mac |
| `test_sim` | build + XCTest / Swift Testing; per-test results | Mac |
| `build_run_sim` | build, install, launch; returns a **browser URL to a live simulator** | Mac |
| `stop_app_sim` | end a live session | API |
| `archive_app` | unsigned `.xcarchive` (Release) | Mac |
| `job_status` | status, diagnostics, tests, log tail of any job | API |
| `doctor` | key, API reachability, fleet capabilities | local + API |

Only files under `workspaceRoot` (default: the project's directory) are uploaded, content-addressed — after the first run only changed files move. A small app's test run takes ~20–40 s of Mac time and costs a few cents; nothing is billed while queued.

Screenshots / accessibility tree of the running simulator, code signing and TestFlight upload. The live `build_run_sim` link is meant for a human to look at.

Agents without a Mac build, test and run iOS apps through [mac.doublespeed.ai](https://mac.doublespeed.ai) (`npx -y @doublespeed/ds`). Docs: https://mac.doublespeed.ai/docs.md
