This project provides an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for accessing Apple's official developer documentation, including APIs, frameworks, SwiftUI, UIKit, and WWDC videos. It enables AI assistants like Claude and Cursor to perform natural language searches and retrieve detailed information for iOS, macOS, and other Apple platforms, benefiting developers seeking efficient access to technical resources.

How It Works

The server leverages Apple's public JSON API for documentation fetching and integrates with the official Apple search API for intelligent querying. It parses HTML search results and provides structured data for various tools, including framework indexing, technology catalog browsing, and WWDC video session retrieval. The architecture emphasizes performance through memory-based caching with TTL support and type safety via TypeScript and Zod.

Quick Start & Requirements

• Primary install/run command: Add to AI assistant configuration (e.g., Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Zed) using provided JSON snippets. Alternatively, install globally via npm install -g @kimsungwhee/apple-docs-mcp or pnpm add -g @kimsungwhee/apple-docs-mcp.
• Prerequisites: Node.js and npm/pnpm.
• Links: Claude Code MCP docs, Cursor MCP docs, VS Code MCP docs, Windsurf MCP docs, Zed Context Server docs.
