com.apple-rag/mcp-server

Apple docs with semantic search, keyword search, and AI-reranked hybrid search for MCP clients.

What is the com.apple-rag/mcp-server MCP server?

The Apple RAG MCP server provides intelligent search access to Apple Developer Documentation, WWDC26 transcripts, and Xcode resources. It combines semantic search, keyword search, and hybrid search with AI reranking to deliver accurate, contextual answers from Apple's latest documentation across iOS, macOS, watchOS, tvOS, iPadOS, and visionOS.

This MCP server gives AI agents like Claude and Cursor fast, intelligent access to Apple's developer documentation and WWDC transcripts. Instead of keyword-only search, it uses semantic understanding and hybrid search with AI reranking to find the most relevant documentation, code examples, and API references. No authentication required to start; optional MCP Token for higher usage limits.
