About Apple Docs MCP
Apple Docs MCP gives assistants search and retrieval over Apple's developer documentation through Apple's JSON API: SwiftUI, UIKit, Foundation and other frameworks across iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS and visionOS, with framework indexes, a technology catalogue, Swift and Objective-C code examples and WWDC video content. It is a community project, not published by Apple.
Apple Docs MCP is listed in this index written primarily in TypeScript, with 1.4k stars on GitHub. Its latest recorded repository push was in March 2026; that is not an ASE editorial review date.
Before connecting: access and data
This record's specific permissions have not been reviewed by ASE. Read the publisher's documentation before copying setup or connecting.
- List the accounts, files and services the enabled tools can read, change or execute. Check your actual credentials and discovered tools.
- Use narrowly scoped credentials and read-only mode where supported. Review proposed writes before approving them; a generated configuration does not apply these limits for you.
- Local launch is not local-only data processing. External services receive requests, and your client may pass tool results to its model provider. Check both destinations before sharing private data.
- Keep keys and browser session files out of shared config, repositories and screenshots. Know how to disconnect the server and separately revoke its credentials or account sessions.
