MCP Swift SDK!

Swift implementation of the Model Context Protocol (MCP), providing both client and server capabilities for integrating with LLM surfaces.

Overview

The Model Context Protocol allows applications to provide context for LLMs in a standardized way, separating the concerns of providing context from the actual LLM interaction. This Swift SDK implements the full MCP specification for the client, making it easy to:

• Build MCP clients that can connect to any MCP server
• Use standard transports like stdio and SSE
• Handle all MCP protocol messages and lifecycle events

Installation

• Xcode: File → Add Package Dependencies… and input the package URL https://github.com/gsabran/mcp-swift-sdk

• SPM-based projects: Add the dependency to your package:

dependencies: [
  .package(url: "https://github.com/gsabran/mcp-swift-sdk", from: "0.2.0")
]

And then add the product that you need to all targets that use the dependency:

.product(name: "MCPServer", package: "mcp-swift-sdk"),
// and/or
.product(name: "MCPClient", package: "mcp-swift-sdk"),

Quick Start

Creating a Server

import MCPServer

let server = try await MCPServer(
  info: Implementation(name: "test-server", version: "1.0.0"),
  capabilities: .init(...),
  transport: .stdio())

// The client's roots, if available.  
let roots = await server.roots.value

// Keep the process running until the client disconnects.
try await server.waitForDisconnection()

Tool calling

The tool input schema can be generated for you (thanks swift-json-schema!)

import JSONSchemaBuilder

@Schemable
struct ToolInput {
  let text: String
}

let capabilities = ServerCapabilityHandlers(tools: [
  Tool(name: "repeat") { (input: ToolInput) in
    [.text(.init(text: input.text))]
  },
])

Creating a Client

import MCPClient

let transport = try Transport.stdioProcess(
  serverInfo.executable,
  args: serverInfo.args,
  env: serverInfo.env)
  
let client = try await MCPClient(
  info: .init(name: "example-client", version: "1.0.0"),
  transport: transport,
  capabilities: .init(
    roots: .init(info: .init(listChanged: true), handler: listRoots)))

// List available resources
let resources = await client.resources.value

// Read a specific resource
let resourceContent = try await client.readResource(uri: "file:///example.txt")
