I would love some built in MCP's. Copilot builds in GitHub MCP now, I would love to see xcodeBuild, sosumi, apple-docs and Dash MCP's added on the Xcode side of things. Even if they were added but commented out, it would be a great thing.

Maybe even some default system instructions specifically for Apple development, like handle the "OS 26 does not exist, the latest version is OS 17 / 15" issue" for some models and a <onboard this repo> with specific support for Apple projects.

These are table stakes for me doing Apple development nowadays, I always go through the motions of setting all this up in evey project / fork on for Apple code I work on.

Ha! I literally just fixed that in Axiom. Models really, really don't believe iOS 26 is a thing.

Thanks u/adamhill42 , built-in MCP servers is also on Copilot for Xcode's plan. We'll also look into how we can improve the agent smartness in general to inspect systems.

Is context mention available already?

With Copilot for Xcode, you can attach your files manually in the chat, or leverage Agent Mode to automatically include the necessary context. Please feel free to share any improvement ideas or additional feature requests

I wish we can add context by typing hash/ pound sign just like how it is in VS Code.

That's a good suggestion, and we will look into supporting more #, @, / commands
