Apple Docs 2.0 MCP — Claude Code MCP server for Apple docs and WWDC
Gives your coding agent Apple's developer documentation, design guidelines and WWDC sessions, so answers come from the source instead of guesswork.
claude mcp add apple-docs-2-0-mcp -- npx -y apple-docs-2.0-mcpWhat Apple Docs 2.0 MCP does
The server starts with npx -y apple-docs-2.0-mcp and plugs into Claude, Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Cline or Zed. Seven tools ship inside: site search, an offline page map, full API and article pages, HIG, App Store Connect Help, framework symbols and API relationships.
The page map resolves a title with no network call. That helps when an error message or a snippet already names the property you need. WWDC 2014–2026 sessions are bundled with transcripts and code excerpts, so the agent can point at the talk that introduced an API. Search goes through Apple's own service, which means requests get paced and retried — Apple answers fast queries with nothing.
No API key, no account. Node.js is the one thing to have installed, since the launch goes through npx. This is a fork of kimsungwhee's Apple Docs MCP: search and framework lists in the original broke after Apple changed its pages, and 2.0 restores them. The 207 automated tests cover the server itself, not anything in your project.
What it helps with
- find a Swift method signature from an error message
- read a Human Interface Guidelines page before building a screen
- locate the WWDC talk that shipped a new API, with its code
- pick frameworks for a task such as machine learning
- check App Store Connect product page fields and review rules
Example prompts for the agent
- Look up
NavigationStackin Apple's docs and show the WWDC code that uses it. - Open the HIG page on navigation and list the tab bar requirements.
- Find
UIViewthrough the docs map and show its inheritance and conformances.
