Starting with Xcode 26.3, Apple provides a built-in MCP server that Parsaa can connect to directly. This enables deeper integration with Xcode’s build system, testing framework, and project navigation.
Requires Xcode 26.3 or later. This feature is not available on earlier Xcode versions.

​
What It Enables

  • Build projects through Xcode’s native build system directly from Parsaa
  • Run tests via Xcode’s test runner and see results in the conversation
  • Preview SwiftUI views without leaving the Parsaa workflow
  • Navigate project structure with Xcode’s deep understanding of your code, symbols, and dependencies

​
How It Differs from Accessibility Integration

Parsaa provides two complementary channels for Xcode interaction:
IntegrationHow It WorksBest For
Accessibility APIsParsaa interacts with Xcode’s UI elementsReading open files, navigating tabs, inserting code
Native Xcode MCPParsaa connects to Xcode’s built-in MCP serverBuilding, running tests, project-level operations
Both work together. Accessibility handles UI interaction, while Native Xcode MCP handles build system and project operations. You do not need to choose one over the other.

​
Setup

When Xcode 26.3 or later is detected on your system, Parsaa automatically offers to enable Native Xcode MCP integration. You can also enable or disable it manually:
1

Verify Xcode version

Ensure you have Xcode 26.3 or later installed. Check your version in Xcode > About Xcode.
2

Enable in Settings

Open Parsaa Settings and toggle Native Xcode MCP under the Integrations section.
3

Confirm connection

Parsaa connects to Xcode’s MCP server automatically. You will see Xcode-specific tools become available in your conversations.
