What it does
The server gives the agent direct access to developer.apple.com without manual browser searches. It searches frameworks, walks the API hierarchy for iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS and visionOS, and returns Swift and Objective-C samples, technology overviews and platform compatibility. A separate WWDC library covers session transcripts and code, plus discovery of related and similar APIs. Data comes from Apple's public JSON interface, so no key or account is needed. It installs via npx as an ordinary stdio MCP server.
Who it is for. For developers on Apple platforms who want documentation and code samples inside the agent.
Good fit when
- You need to find an Apple API or framework and a code sample without leaving the agent
- You need to check a symbol's availability across platform versions
- You need a WWDC session with a transcript on a topic
Not a fit when
- Your work is unrelated to Apple platforms
- You need resources behind a paid Apple developer account
Example request
Look up how NavigationStack works in SwiftUI in Apple's docs and show a code sampleMCP
- Transport
- stdio
- Authentication
- not required
Limitations
The server depends on the structure of Apple's public docs, so changes on Apple's side can break some responses. Material is mostly in English. Some data is cached, so recent documentation edits may not appear immediately.
How to disable. Remove the server from your MCP client config, or run claude mcp remove apple-docs in Claude Code.
FAQ
Do I need an Apple key or account?
No. The server uses Apple's public documentation JSON interface, so no key or sign-in is required.
Are WWDC sessions available?
Yes, there is search across WWDC sessions with transcripts and code samples.

README in short
The README describes an MCP server for Apple developer documentation with search across frameworks, APIs, code samples and WWDC sessions. It lists tools: smart search, framework index, technology catalog, documentation updates, platform compatibility, related and similar APIs. It shows setup for Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code and Windsurf via npx. A note says to add @latest to the package name when npx serves a stale cache. MIT licensed, with the README translated into several languages.
