Lets Claude, Cursor and other assistants look up and copy ready-made SwiftUI components and backend guides while you build an iOS app.

ShipSwift is a hosted catalog of SwiftUI animations, charts, UI components and full-stack modules such as sign-in, camera, subscriptions and chat. Your assistant searches it, then pulls the full source code for the piece you ask for.

It is run by Signer Labs at a public web address, and it needs no sign-in. The README says connecting it also unlocks extra Pro skills such as backend guides and compliance templates.

It only reads. It does not touch your code until your assistant writes what it fetched.

Good for

  • iOS developers who want working SwiftUI code instead of generated guesses
  • Indie makers shipping an app with Claude Code or Cursor
  • Developers adding auth, subscriptions or charts to an existing Swift app

Install ShipSwift MCP

Claude Code

  1. 1

    Copy this prompt.

    Add the ShipSwift MCP server to Claude Code. Run this command:

claude mcp add --transport http shipswift https://api.shipswift.app/mcp

Then check that it loaded and tell me if I need to sign in or restart.
  2. 2

    Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.

Built from the package data we hold. Not yet tested by us.

Tools

  • Lists the ready-made SwiftUI skills, by category

    Returns the catalog of SwiftUI and backend building blocks. You can narrow it to animations, charts, UI components or full modules.

    Try: “Show me all chart components in ShipSwift.”

    Network · listSkills

  • Fetches the full code for one skill

    Returns the complete Swift source for a skill, with an explanation and implementation steps. Module skills can include backend code too.

    Try: “Get the animation-shimmer skill and add it to my loading view.”

    Network · getSkill

  • Searches skills by keyword

    Looks through titles, descriptions, tags and source code for a topic such as subscriptions, camera or onboarding.

    Try: “Search ShipSwift for a paywall implementation.”

    Network · searchSkills

  • Old name for listSkills

    Kept so setups built before the rename still work. Same result as listSkills.

    Try: “List all ShipSwift recipes.”

    Network · listRecipes

  • Old name for getSkill

    Kept so older setups still work. Same result as getSkill.

    Try: “Get the auth-cognito recipe.”

    Network · getRecipe

  • Old name for searchSkills

    Kept so older setups still work. Same result as searchSkills.

    Try: “Search recipes for chat UI.”

Permissions

low risk · 2 things to watch

Low risk

All six tools only read from the ShipSwift catalog, and every one is marked read-only by the server. Your search terms go to the hosted service, so do not put secrets in them.

What it can do

Watch out for

  • Your queries go to a hosted service

    Search words and skill IDs are sent to api.shipswift.app. The privacy terms are not in the README. github.com

  • Fetched code is not reviewed for you

    Read the Swift code your assistant adds before shipping it, as with any copied code. github.com

Security advisories

No published security advisories as of Nov 1, 2026.

Questions

Is the ShipSwift MCP server official?

Yes. It is run by signerlabs, the makers of ShipSwift, and the README shows the same server address. It serves ShipSwift's own skill catalog.

How do I add ShipSwift to Claude Code or Cursor?

Use the install box on this page. The server address is the same for every app, and no key is needed.

What is the ShipSwift MCP server URL?

It is https://api.shipswift.app/mcp. It is a hosted server that works without signing in.

Is it free?

Connecting is free and needs no account. The README says connecting the server also gives access to extra Pro skills; it does not state their price. The code in the repo is MIT licensed.

Do I need the server, or can I use local skills?

You can skip it. The README offers local skills that read source from the repo with no server, or you can copy files into Xcode by hand. The server adds the Pro skills.

Can it change my project?

No. All six tools only list, search or fetch skills. Your assistant decides what to write into your code.

Why are there tools named recipes and skills?

The recipe tools are old names for the skill tools. They return the same results and are kept for older setups.
