Stop the per-workspace background daemon and clear its tracked operation metadata.

One-shot Cursor debug repro: clear host log → build_and_run with AGENT_DEBUG_* launchEnv → optional log capture.

Boot an iOS simulator device.

Build a Bazel target with iOS-oriented defaults for simulator/device builds.

Install a previously built .app bundle onto a connected physical iOS device.

Launch an installed app on a connected physical iOS device by bundle identifier.

Start capturing logs from a connected physical iOS device. Tries pymobiledevice3 first (iOS 17+ via CoreDevice tunnel), falls back to idevicesyslog for older devices.

Stop an active device log capture and return captured output.

Pair with a physical iOS device for development.

Terminate a running app on a connected physical iOS device by bundle identifier.

Run Bazel iOS tests on a connected physical device. Builds with arm64 and runs via

Discover Bazel iOS app, unit/UI test, and build-test targets using bazel query.

Simulate a double-tap at screen coordinates on the simulator.

Simulate a drag gesture from one point to another on the simulator.

Install a previously built .app bundle onto an iOS simulator.

Send a key press event to the simulator (e.g. Return, Escape, Tab, Space, Delete, arrows, Home).

Launch an installed app on an iOS simulator by bundle identifier.

Attach LLDB debugger to a running process by PID or process name. Returns a session ID for subsequent debug commands.

Set a breakpoint by file+line, symbol name, or delete/list breakpoints.

Run an arbitrary LLDB command. Use for advanced debugging not covered by other tools.

Detach LLDB from a process and end the debug session.

Evaluate an expression in the current frame context (e.g. print a variable, call a method).

Step through code: over (next line), into (enter function), or out (finish function).

List all threads or select a specific thread/frame for inspection.

Inspect local variables, arguments, or all frame variables at the current stop point.

Start capturing device logs from a booted simulator. Returns a capture ID.

Stop a running log capture and return captured logs.

Simulate a long press at screen coordinates on the simulator.

Open Simulator.app and optionally bring a specific device to the foreground.

Open a URL on a booted simulator (deep links, universal links, web URLs).

Simulate a pinch (zoom) gesture on the simulator. Requires idb for true multi-touch; without idb the CGEvent fallback only approximates with a tap.

Grant, revoke, or reset privacy permissions for an app on a simulator.

Send a simulated push notification to an app on a booted simulator.

Set the simulator UI appearance to light or dark mode.

Set the simulated GPS location on a booted simulator.

Override the simulator status bar (time, battery, network, etc.). Useful for consistent screenshots.

Shutdown a running iOS simulator.

Terminate a running app on a booted simulator by bundle identifier.

Simulate a swipe gesture on the simulator.

Simulate a tap at screen coordinates on the simulator.

Run a Bazel iOS test target with simulator and test-output defaults.

Run a Bazel iOS test target and collect code coverage data (lcov format).

Type text into the focused field on the simulator.

Start recording video from a booted simulator. Returns a recording ID to stop later.

Stop an active video recording and finalize the file.

Build a Bazel macOS target (macos_application, macos_bundle, macos_command_line_application, etc.).

Clean Bazel macOS build outputs. Equivalent to bazel_ios_clean but scoped for macOS context.

Run Bazel macOS test with coverage collection and lcov output.

Launch a previously built macOS application by its bundle path or target label.

Build and launch a Bazel macOS application locally via

Terminate a running macOS application by bundle ID or process name.

Run a Bazel macOS unit test target (macos_unit_test).

Build a Bazel tvOS target (tvos_application, tvos_extension, etc.).

Build and launch a Bazel tvOS application via

Run a Bazel tvOS unit test target (tvos_unit_test).

Upgrade XcodeBazelMCP to the latest version. Auto-detects install method (npm, Homebrew, source).

Build a Bazel visionOS target (visionos_application, etc.).

Build and launch a Bazel visionOS application via

Run a Bazel visionOS unit test target (visionos_unit_test).

Build a Bazel watchOS target (watchos_application, watchos_extension, etc.).

Build and launch a Bazel watchOS application via

Run a Bazel watchOS unit test target (watchos_unit_test).
