# MCP Swift SDK
Swift implementation of the [Model Context Protocol][mcp] (MCP).
## Requirements
- Swift 6.0+ (Xcode 16+)
## Platform Support
| Platform | Minimum Version |
|----------|----------------|
| macOS | 13.0+ |
| iOS / Mac Catalyst | 16.0+ |
| watchOS | 9.0+ |
| tvOS | 16.0+ |
| visionOS | 1.0+ |
| Linux | ✓ |
| Windows | ✓ |
> [!IMPORTANT]
> MCP's transport layer handles communication between clients and servers.
> The Swift SDK supports multiple transport mechanisms,
> with different platform availability:
>
> * `StdioTransport` is available on Apple platforms
> and Linux distributions with glibc, such as
> Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, CentOS, or RHEL.
>
> * `NetworkTransport` is available only on Apple platforms.
## Installation
### Swift Package Manager
Add the following to your `Package.swift` file:
```swift
dependencies: [
.package(url: "https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/swift-sdk.git", from: "0.7.1")
]
```
## Usage
### Basic Client Setup
```swift
import MCP
// Initialize the client
let client = Client(name: "MyApp", version: "1.0.0")
// Create a transport and connect
let transport = StdioTransport()
try await client.connect(transport: transport)
// Initialize the connection
let result = try await client.initialize()
```
### Basic Server Setup
```swift
import MCP
// Initialize the server with capabilities
let server = Server(
name: "MyServer",
version: "1.0.0",
capabilities: .init(
prompts: .init(),
resources: .init(
subscribe: true
),
tools: .init()
)
)
// Create transport and start server
let transport = StdioTransport()
try await server.start(transport: transport)
// Register method handlers
server.withMethodHandler(ReadResource.self) { params in
// Handle resource read request
let uri = params.uri
let content = [Resource.Content.text("Example content")]
return .init(contents: content)
}
// Register notification handlers
server.onNotification(ResourceUpdatedNotification.self) { message in
// Handle resource update notification
}
// Stop the server when done
await server.stop()
```
### Working with Tools
```swift
// List available tools
let tools = try await client.listTools()
// Call a tool
let (content, isError) = try await client.callTool(
name: "example-tool",
arguments: ["key": "value"]
)
// Handle tool content
for item in content {
switch item {
case .text(let text):
print(text)
case .image(let data, let mimeType, let metadata):
// Handle image data
}
}
```
### Working with Resources
```swift
// List available resources
let (resources, nextCursor) = try await client.listResources()
// Read a resource
let contents = try await client.readResource(uri: "resource://example")
// Subscribe to resource updates
try await client.subscribeToResource(uri: "resource://example")
// Handle resource updates
await client.onNotification(ResourceUpdatedNotification.self) { message in
let uri = message.params.uri
let content = message.params.content
// Handle the update
}
```
### Working with Prompts
```swift
// List available prompts
let (prompts, nextCursor) = try await client.listPrompts()
// Get a prompt with arguments
let (description, messages) = try await client.getPrompt(
name: "example-prompt",
arguments: ["key": "value"]
)
```
