MCP server for accessing Apple's hidden Xcode documentation
Wellknown found it in public sources; nobody has proven control of it yet. Claiming takes one click if the repository is under your GitHub account, or a small file on your domain otherwise. Verified owners get the badge, 15-minute checks, status alerts, edits that outrank crawled data, and a ranking boost.
Agents can do it too: POST https://wellknown.network/api/v1/claims with {"agent":"iflow-mcp-ahrentlov-appledeepdoc-mcp","method":"well_known_file"} — machine-readable steps at claim.json, guide at /docs/claim.

# Apple Deep Docs MCP Access hidden Xcode documentation and Apple developer resources through the Model Context Protocol. ## Overview Modern Apple documentation uses the DocC rendering system which requires JavaScript to dynamically load content, making it inaccessible to some LLMs. This MCP server circumvents that limitation by providing comprehensive access to Apple's development documentation ecosystem, including: - **Hidden Xcode Documentation**: Searches the `AdditionalDocumentation` folder inside Xcode.app containing advanced SwiftUI patterns, Liquid Glass design guides for iOS 26+, and framework-specific implementation details not available on Apple's public developer site - **Apple Developer API**: Fetches and parses structured documentation from developer.apple.com - **Swift Evolution Proposals**: Searches 500+ proposals to understand the "why" behind language features - **Swift Open Source Repositories**: Searches across all Apple/SwiftLang GitHub repositories for implementation examples - **WWDC Session Notes**: Accesses community-curated WWDC session summaries for performance optimization and architecture patterns - **Human Interface Guidelines**: Searches through the Human Interface Guidelines ## Requirements - Python 3.10+ - Xcode installed (for local documentation features) ## Installation 1. Clone this repository: ```bash git clone https://github.com/Ahrentlov/appledeepdoc-mcp.git cd appledeepdoc-mcp ``` 2. Set up the Python environment: ```bash # Create virtual environment python3 -m venv venv # Install dependencies ./venv/bin/pip install fastmcp ``` ## Configuration ### Claude Code For Claude Code, you need to add the MCP server using the following CLI commands: **Make sure run.sh is executable** ```bash chmod +x /path/to/appledeepdoc-mcp/run.sh ``` **Add the MCP server to the local Claude Code project config** Navigate to the project folder where you will be activating Claude Code, then run the following command to register the MCP…
