MCP Inspector

Launch the MCP Inspector to interactively test the swift-mcp-gui MCP server in a browser.

This skill is shared by Claude Code and Codex. Use the shell command tool available in the current agent runtime (for example, Bash in Claude Code or the terminal/exec command tool in Codex).

Steps

1. Check if Node.js and npm are installed by running node --version and npx --version. If not installed, tell the user to install Node.js first (e.g. via Homebrew: brew install node) and stop.

2. Reinstall the latest build of swift-mcp-gui:

swift package experimental-uninstall swift-mcp-gui && swift package experimental-install

3. Start the MCP Inspector:

npx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector swift-mcp-gui

4. Wait for the inspector to start and print the URL with the auth token.

5. Tell the user to open the URL in their browser. The URL will look like: http://localhost:6274/?MCP_PROXY_AUTH_TOKEN=<token>

6. Wait for the user to finish testing. When the user says they are done, kill the inspector process:

pkill -f "@modelcontextprotocol/inspector"; pkill -f "swift-mcp-gui"
