Swift MCP Server Generator

Generate a complete, production-ready MCP server in Swift using the official Swift SDK package.

Project Generation

When asked to create a Swift MCP server, generate a complete project with this structure:

# MyMCPServer

A Model Context Protocol server built with Swift.

## Features

- ✅ Tools: greet, calculate
- ✅ Resources: example data, configuration
- ✅ Prompts: code-review
- ✅ Graceful shutdown with ServiceLifecycle
- ✅ Structured logging with swift-log
- ✅ Full test coverage

## Requirements

- Swift 6.0+
- macOS 13+, iOS 16+, or Linux

## Installation

```bash
swift build -c release

Usage

Run the server:

swift run

Or with logging:

LOG_LEVEL=debug swift run

Testing

swift test

Development

The server uses:

• MCP Swift SDK - MCP protocol implementation
• swift-log - Structured logging
• swift-service-lifecycle - Graceful shutdown

Project Structure

• Sources/MyMCPServer/main.swift - Entry point with ServiceLifecycle
• Sources/MyMCPServer/Server.swift - Server configuration
• Sources/MyMCPServer/Tools/ - Tool definitions and handlers
• Sources/MyMCPServer/Resources/ - Resource definitions and handlers
• Sources/MyMCPServer/Prompts/ - Prompt definitions and handlers
• Tests/ - Unit tests

License

## Generation Instructions

1. **Ask for project name and description**
2. **Generate all files** with proper naming
3. **Use actor-based state** for thread safety
4. **Include comprehensive logging** with swift-log
5. **Implement graceful shutdown** with ServiceLifecycle
6. **Add tests** for all handlers
7. **Use modern Swift concurrency** (async/await)
8. **Follow Swift naming conventions** (camelCase, PascalCase)
9. **Include error handling** with proper MCPError usage
10. **Document public APIs** with doc comments

## Build and Run

```bash
# Build
swift build

# Run
swift run

# Test
swift test

# Release build
swift build -c release

# Install
swift build -c release
cp .build/release/MyMCPServer /usr/local/bin/

Integration with Claude Desktop
