About
Apple Doc MCP Server provides seamless access to Apple's Developer Documentation directly within AI coding assistants, enabling fast, contextual lookup of symbols, APIs, and framework documentation. Key features of Apple Doc MCP Server: - Symbol search and resolution for SwiftUI, UIKit, and other Apple frameworks (e.g., GridItem, View, ButtonStyle) - Wildcard pattern matching (* and ?) for flexible symbol discovery - Article and guide search across Apple's developer documentation - Local caching of documentation for fast, offline-capable lookups - Technology discovery to browse available frameworks and APIs - Exact symbol resolution for common Apple development patterns
README
Apple Doc MCP
A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides seamless access to Apple's Developer Documentation directly within your AI coding assistant. Note: Hey guys, thanks for checking out this MCP! Since I've been working on it on a regular basis, and as such its getting really expensive to build it and improve it to work on different platforms, all while adding new features (tokens aint cheap ya'll).
if you find this MCP helpful, I'd really apperciate it if you clicked on the ❤️ Sponsor button up there, any contribution is apperciated! thanks.
📋 Changelog
Thank you to the Github team for gifting me a year subscription to Copilot Pro+ you guys rock! and thank you @billibala, @theoddbrick, @christopherbattlefrontlegal for sponsoring! you guys are amazing.
search_symbols to be more predictable for AI agents
- Added exact symbol resolution inside search_symbols for queries like GridItem, View, and ButtonStyle
- Changed search_symbols to return symbol-first results with articles and guides separated into their own section
- Fixed wildcard behavior so fallback search respects * and ? patterns instead of degrading to plain substring matches
- Removed misleading search messaging about background downloads and "comprehensive" indexing
- Removed dead or unused search code paths that were adding confusion without improving results
- Fixed first-search index initialization so cache-backed symbol search finishes building before results are used
.cache/ to keep the repo clean
- Routed MCP logging to stderr so protocol stdout stays clean (this was breaking codex symbol search)Installation
