Summary
Apple's design and API references, searchable side by side, so guidance and implementation land together.
Keeping the HIG and the API docs behind one server means an agent can ask how a component should look and how to build it in the same breath — search_unified returns the design rule and the framework symbol together instead of sending you to two sites.
What it is
A server that gives an assistant Apple development guidance: it searches the Human Interface Guidelines for design rules and Apple's technical documentation for API reference, and can search both at once for end-to-end answers.
What you get
- search_human_interface_guidelines searches the HIG by keyword, with platform filters across iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, and visionOS, returning full content rather than snippets
- search_technical_documentation searches Apple API docs, with framework-specific searches like SwiftUI and UIKit and symbol lookups
- search_unified searches design guidelines and technical docs together, cross-referencing a design principle with how to implement it
Requirements
Runs on Node via npx or a global install; no account or key.
Setup effort
One command — npx -y apple-dev-mcp
