Summary

Swift low-level SDK (AppBridge) for hosting MCP Apps in iOS/macOS applications, and basic example iOS app.

To test, ensure you have XCode + an iOS Simulator & run:

./examples/basic-host-swift/scripts/run.sh

What's included

SDK (swift/)

  • AppBridge: Host-side protocol handler for MCP Apps communication
  • WKWebViewTransport: WebView communication layer for iOS/macOS
  • Generated types: From generated JSON Schema via scripts/generate-swift-types.ts
  • Full MCP Apps protocol support (ui/initialize, tool-input, tool-result, etc.)

Example App (examples/basic-host-swift/)

  • SwiftUI app demonstrating SDK usage (port of the Web example/basic-host)
  • Bottom toolbar UI with server/tool pickers
  • WebView with AppBridge integration
  • Tool forwarding to MCP servers
  • Server name displayed in tool call cards

CI

  • Swift job on macos-latest
  • Builds and tests the SDK

How to test

cd examples/basic-host-swift
./scripts/run.sh

Screenshots

The example app displays MCP App UIs in a WebView with full protocol support.

Removed kotlin job from CI and kotlin paths from .prettierignore
as they reference directories that don't exist.

- Swift host: Add serverName to ToolCallInfo and display it in ToolCallCard header
- JS host: Pass toolInfo with tool definition to hostContext when creating AppBridge

Call sendResourceTeardown() and close() on AppBridge before removing
a tool call card, matching the recommended pattern from the web host.

The previous implementation spawned a Task but removed the card
immediately without waiting. Now properly awaits the teardown.

Resolved conflict in examples/basic-host/src/index.tsx:
- Keep toolCallInfo parameter for hostContext.toolInfo
- Keep appBridgeRef.current assignment for teardown support

- Show spinner with "Closing..." text when tearing down
- Dim card to 50% opacity during teardown

- Move isTearingDown to ToolCallInfo (observable state)
- Remove local @State that caused desync issues
- Add 5-second timeout to prevent stuck cards
- Guard against double-tap with early return
- Card observes model state via @ObservedObject

- Send params: [:] instead of nil (TS SDK expects object, not undefined)
- Use strong reference for WebView in transport to prevent premature dealloc
- Add guard for nil transport with proper error
- Add debug logging to sendRequest

- Add OSLog-based logging for debugging
- Improve logs.sh script for better log filtering

SDK changes:
- Add timeout parameter to sendRequest (default 30s)
- sendResourceTeardown uses 5s timeout
- Add failPendingRequest helper for clean timeout handling

Host changes:
- Check isReady() before sending teardown
- Skip teardown if bridge not yet initialized (no data to save)
- Simplified logic since SDK handles timeout internally

This prevents cards from getting stuck when closed before initialization.

Changed from 5 seconds to 0.5 seconds for a snappier user experience.
Added documentation comment explaining the timeout parameter.

Updated McpHostViewModel to use the new typed params API:
- onMessage, onOpenLink, onLoggingMessage, onSizeChange now take typed params
- sendToolInput now takes McpUiToolInputParams
- sendToolResult now takes McpUiToolResultParams with proper content items
