An MCP server for searching and exploring SPM dependencies in your Xcode and SPM projects.

The code of your SPM dependencies is located in hidden folders, often in other directories (DerivedData etc). Coding agents cannot easily access it, were they to need it. This MCP solves this gap.

Configuration

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "spm-dependencies": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@getcmd/spm-dependencies-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Tools

• list_dependencies lists the dependencies used by a project/package, which version they resolve to, and where to find them on disk
• search search over dependencies with ripgrep. Arbitrary parameters can be forwarded to ripgrep.
• list-files list within dependencies
• read search a file within the dependencies with sed. Arbitrary parameters can be forwarded to sed.

CLI Usage

The tools made available through the MCP server can be directly access in a CLI:

$ npx -y @getcmd/spm-dependencies-mcp --help
