ShipSwift

MCP serverDev tools

shipswift gives your AI a library of 40+ production-ready SwiftUI recipes for building full-stack iOS apps. Instead of writing every screen from scratch, your AI can draw on proven code and get working features done faster.

Use ShipSwift in Claude, ChatGPT or Ahel Desktop

Free. Sign in, add ShipSwift and connect your AI. About a minute.

Also: Claude Code · Cursor · Codex

Then ask your AI: use the listRecipes tool from ShipSwift

Details

Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.

Add shipswift, then ask your AI to build a screen or feature for your iOS app and it will use the recipe library to put it together. You can browse github.com/signerlabs/shipswift to see what recipes are included.

What your AI can do with it

  • Build iOS app screens using ready-made SwiftUI recipes
  • Assemble full-stack iOS apps from proven, production-ready code
  • Choose from 40+ SwiftUI recipes for iOS apps
  • Ship iOS features faster by reusing tested code instead of starting from scratch

Install ShipSwift

The server’s own address, for the clients that take one directly. Or connect Ahel once and every client you use reads it from one address, with the account kept on Ahel rather than in each client’s config.

  • Claude Code

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

    Run it once in your project, then open /mcp to approve any sign-in the server asks for.

  • Claude Desktop

    https://api.shipswift.app/mcp

    Add a custom connector in Settings, paste this address, and approve the sign-in.

  • Cursor

    cursor://anysphere.cursor-deeplink/mcp/install?name=shipswift&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL2FwaS5zaGlwc3dpZnQuYXBwL21jcCJ9

    Open the link and Cursor adds the server at that address.

  • ChatGPT

    https://api.shipswift.app/mcp

    In Settings, enable Developer mode, create an MCP app, and paste this address. Your plan and workspace must allow custom apps.

  • Codex

    codex mcp add shipswift --url 'https://api.shipswift.app/mcp'

    Run it once, then sign in with codex mcp login shipswift if the server asks for an account.

From the project's README

As published by signerlabs/shipswift in README.md.

AI-native SwiftUI component library — production-ready code that LLMs can use to build real apps.

Quick Start · Components · Custom Dev — $5K, 4 weeks · Recipes

What is ShipSwift?

One command gives your AI everything it needs — production-ready SwiftUI components, full-stack recipes, and the context to build real apps without guessing.

Browse every recipe live at shipswift.app — searchable catalog, copy-paste source, live previews.

Download the Showcase App to preview every component on your device.

Need a custom app built? We do that too.

ShipSwift gets your AI 80% of the way. If you need the last 20% — your unique features, your brand, your backend — wired up by the people who wrote the recipes, we ship it for you.

⚡ 48-hour demoWorking prototype on your TestFlight within 2 days of brief
🚀 4-week deliveryProduction-ready iOS app, App Store-submission ready
💵 From $5,000Fixed price, milestone-billed, no hourly surprises

Built on the same component library you see in this repo, so you keep ownership and can extend forever.

Quick Start

Option 1: Skills + Recipe Server (Recommended)

Step 1 — Install ShipSwift Skills:

npx skills add signerlabs/shipswift-skills

Step 2 — Connect the recipe server so your AI can fetch recipes:

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

# Gemini CLI
gemini mcp add --transport http shipswift https://api.shipswift.app/mcp

For Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Windsurf, and other tools, see the Skills repo for MCP setup.

Step 3 — Ask your AI:

  • "Add a shimmer loading animation"
  • "Build an authentication flow with Cognito"
  • "Show me all chart components"

Option 2: Local Skills (No MCP Required)

Install skills that read source files directly from this repo — works offline, no server needed:

npx skills add signerlabs/ShipSwift

Your AI can then browse the component catalog and read source code locally. Try:

  • "Explore ShipSwift recipes"
  • "Add a shimmer animation"
  • "Build a chat feature"

Tip: If you also connect the MCP server (Option 1), your AI gets access to additional Pro recipes (backend guides, compliance templates, pitfall docs).

Option 3: File Copy

  1. Clone this repository
  2. Copy the files you need from ShipSwift/SWPackage/ into your Xcode project
  3. Each component in SWAnimation/, SWChart/, and SWComponent/ is self-contained — just copy the file and SWUtil/ if needed

Run the Showcase App

git clone https://github.com/signerlabs/ShipSwift.git
cd ShipSwift
open ShipSwift.xcodeproj

Select a simulator or device, then press Cmd+R to build and run.

SWUtil        ← no dependencies on other SWPackage directories
SWAnimation   ← may depend on SWUtil only
SWChart       ← may depend on SWUtil only
SWComponent   ← may depend on SWUtil only
SWModule      ← may depend on SWUtil and SWComponent
