Installation
Prerequisites
- macOS (required for SourceKit-LSP)
- Python 3.10+
- Xcode (full installation from App Store)
Quick Start
Configure for Claude Code / Gemini CLI
Add to your JSON configuration file mcpServers section:
{
"mcpServers": {
"swiftlens": {
"command": "uvx",
"args": ["swiftlens"]
}
}
}Build SourceKit LSP Index
SwiftLens requires an index store for cross-file analysis. Build it with:
# Navigate to your Swift project
cd /path/to/your/swift/project
# Build with index store
swift build -Xswiftc -index-store-path -Xswiftc .build/index/store**Important**: Rebuild the index when you add new Swift files, change public interfaces, or notice missing symbol references.
