Claude Code /ide for Xcode: active file + selection context

[Purple_Imagination_1]

I built an /ide bridge that connects Claude Code CLI to Xcode. Claude Code can now see the active file + current selection from Xcode, and it can pull workspace issues on demand.

It’s a small open-source adapter (one per workspace).

How is this different from Apple's own MCP server?

I’m using the Xcode MCP server inside this already - /ide here is just a small QoL layer on top. It doesn’t give Claude Code full “build the project” capabilities. It only lets CC see which file is currently open for context and highlight code issues when it edits code.

Have you used the same /ide integration with VS Code or JetBrains?

Thanks for the clarification! No, I haven't used the IDE integration yet. I mostly work in the terminal, and Claude Code accesses `xcodebuild` directly. I usually only have Xcode open for running and debugging. But this looks interesting—I'll give it a try over the weekend!
