Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface getsentry/XcodeBuildMCP, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.

3 prioritized changes generated by gemini-2.5-flash. Mark items done after you ship the fix.
- highreadme#1Reposition the README's opening to explicitly state its AI agent focus and differentiate it
Why:
CURRENTA Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and CLI that provides tools for agent use when working on iOS and macOS projects.
COPY-PASTE FIXXcodeBuildMCP is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and CLI specifically designed to provide rich, real-time context and tools for AI coding agents working on iOS and macOS projects. Its primary purpose is to enhance AI agent understanding and interaction with Xcode, not to optimize build performance or manage project files directly.
- mediumreadme#2Add a dedicated section explaining the Model Context Protocol (MCP) and its value for AI agents
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## What is Model Context Protocol (MCP) and Why for AI Agents? XcodeBuildMCP implements the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to bridge the gap between complex iOS/macOS development environments and AI coding agents. It provides agents with structured access to project details, build logs, and Xcode functionalities, enabling them to understand, debug, and modify projects more effectively than with generic command-line tools.
- lowreadme#3Add a comparison section to differentiate from common Xcode project tools
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIX## Comparison to other Xcode tools Unlike tools such as XcodeGen or xcproj which focus on project generation and manipulation, or `xcodebuild` which is a general-purpose build utility, XcodeBuildMCP is specifically designed to serve as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. Its goal is to provide AI coding agents with a structured, real-time understanding of Xcode projects, rather than directly managing project files or optimizing build processes.
