# 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:
```bash
swift run
```
Or with logging:
```bash
LOG_LEVEL=debug swift run
```
## Testing
```bash
swift test
```
## Development
The server uses:
- [MCP Swift SDK](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/swift-sdk) - MCP protocol implementation
- [swift-log](https://github.com/apple/swift-log) - Structured logging
- [swift-service-lifecycle](https://github.com/swift-server/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

## 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
Add to `claude_desktop_config.json`:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"my-mcp-server": {
"command": "/path/to/MyMCPServer"
}
}
}
