Xcode live backend
With Xcode 26.3+, open your project and enable Settings → Intelligence → Allow external agents to use Xcode tools. XCAutokit uses xcrun mcpbridge internally when available; otherwise it falls back to xcodebuild.
Env: XCAUTOKIT_XCODE_BACKEND=auto|on|off (legacy AUTOKIT_XCODE_BACKEND still accepted).
