Model Context Protocol
An open protocol that standardizes how AI models connect to external tools, data sources, and development environments.
Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard developed to provide a uniform way for AI models to interact with external tools, APIs, and development environments. In the context of Xcode 26.3, MCP allows developers using Claude Code from the command line to access Xcode's preview system and other IDE capabilities, bridging the gap between terminal-based and GUI-based development workflows.
