Official Apple Xcode MCP server (xcrun mcpbridge) that gives external AI agents direct access to Xcode IDE capabilities. Provides 20 native tools for building projects, running tests, reading and writing files in the project navigator, searching code with regex, rendering SwiftUI previews, executing code snippets, browsing Apple Developer documentation, and inspecting build logs and workspace issues. Requires Xcode 26+ with MCP enabled in Intelligence settings.
Provides up-to-date, version-specific documentation and code examples for libraries, frameworks, and SDKs directly into your AI prompts. Instead of relying on potentially outdated training data, Context7 fetches current documentation from the source. Supports thousands of libraries including React, Next.js, Node.js, Python packages, and more.
The official Shopify Dev MCP server, built by Shopify, gives AI coding tools direct access to Shopify's developer platform. Agents can search Shopify documentation, explore and introspect the Admin and Storefront GraphQL API schemas, validate GraphQL operations, and scaffold Functions — keeping answers grounded in up-to-date, accurate Shopify APIs.
Skills vs MCP servers
what's the difference?Skillsthe “what to do”
A skillA reusable, structured prompt/workflow with recommended models, an example prompt, and compatible tools. packages know-how — instructions, an example promptA ready-to-use prompt template that demonstrates how to invoke the skill., and recommended models — so an agent performs a task consistently. Skills add knowledge, not new connections.
MCP serversthe “how to connect”
An MCP serverModel Context Protocol server — a standard way to expose tools, resources, and prompts to AI agents and IDEs. gives an agent new capabilities by connecting it to real systems (databases, APIs, files) over a transportHow the client talks to the server: stdio (local process), SSE, or HTTP streaming.. MCP adds connections and actions, not task instructions.
Rule of thumb: reach for a skill when you need the model to do a task well, and an MCP server when you need it to reach a tool or system. They compose — a skill can rely on tools an MCP server provides.
