Loading the registry…
XcodeBuildMCP is a Model Context Protocol server that provides tools for Xcode project management, simulator management, and app utilities.
We found this by crawling public sources and nobody has attested to it. That is how most of the registry gets here, and it is not a mark against the artifact — it only means no authenticated act of publication is on record. An artifact can be the vendor's own and still appear here.
24 critical findings reported by cisco-skill-scanner, agent-audit-kit, 14 of them in the installed artifact. The composite score alone does not reflect this — read the per-scanner reports below.
github: https://github.com/cameroncooke/xcodebuildmcp, 401 findings
Choose your runtime: the CLI writes the mcpServers config entry for that target.
nerlo install --target claude-code -- xcodebuildmcp
Install respects the composite badge: Clean proceeds, Caution prompts for confirmation, and Flagged is refused. Write operations require an API token.
6 of 11 scanners examined this package. The rest do not apply to it — language, ecosystem and packaging decide which analyzers can say anything, and a scanner that cannot examine an artifact reports nothing rather than passing it.

Findings in files this artifact installs stand as reported; a model re-read the rest and said which ones it believes are false positives. This is a second opinion published beside the evidence, not a correction to it: the per-scanner reports above are unchanged, every dismissed finding is still listed there at its original severity, and the score and the Flagged badge are computed from those raw severities alone. Nothing below moved them.
Out of 253 findings across every scanner that examined this package. 9 of 24 findings rated critical by their scanner were among the dismissals.
Not reviewed is not the same as clean. Those 6 findings stand exactly as their scanners reported them, at full severity, as they would have without this review.
Two keys had to turn. The model had to name a reason from a fixed list of six, and a deterministic check of ours — over which files this artifact actually installs — had to independently agree. Anything it could not corroborate is in “not reviewed” above, at full severity.
33 Test or fixture file — The match is in a test or fixture. Our own check confirmed the file is not part of what gets installed.

10 CI or editor configuration — The match is in build, CI or editor configuration, confirmed by our own check to be outside the installed artifact.

4 Agent instruction file — The match is in a file that instructs an AI coding agent — a CLAUDE.md or similar. It is documentation of intent, and our own check confirmed it is not part of what gets installed.

These findings are in files this artifact installs and are not placeholder values. No false-positive basis can be corroborated for such a finding, so this review never dismisses one; they were not sent to the model and stand at their scanner's severity.

6 The model called these false positives and our own check did not agree, so the dismissal was refused.

Artifact includes critical command execution and credential access risks.
The artifact contains multiple critical findings related to command injection, allowing shell execution via `child_process` and `eval` in various utility and script files. It also includes high-severity findings for potential credential access, with secrets identified in snapshot test fixtures and setup scripts. Additionally, the artifact exhibits high-severity findings for hidden executable scripts and dynamic code execution, indicating capabilities that warrant close review.
Concern level assessed by the review: Critical. This is the review's scale, not the registry badge.
Reviewed by gemini-2.5-flash. The model sees the findings, not your code, and cannot change a score.
