Intro

Cupertino crawls and serves Apple docs to agents via MCP; verified 736★ and ships a bundle with 277k+ pages across 402 frameworks.

Best for: iOS/macOS teams who want deterministic, offline Apple API answers instead of web search hallucinations

Works with: Claude Desktop/Claude Code/Codex/Cursor and any MCP client that can run cupertino serve

Setup time: 5-12 minutes (bundle) / 45+ minutes (build)

Key facts (verified)

  • GitHub: 735 stars · 28 forks · pushed 2026-05-14.
  • License: MIT · owner avatar + repo URL verified via GitHub API.
  • README-backed entrypoint: cupertino serve.

Main

  • Prefer the prebuilt bundle first: get a stable offline index, then decide if you need re-crawl/build for custom sources.

  • Wire it as a shared team tool: add to your MCP client config so every agent session can query docs deterministically.

  • Reduce token waste: search locally and cite canonical doc URLs instead of copying long pages into model context.

Source-backed notes

  • README claims an offline bundle with 277,000+ pages across 402 frameworks (v1.0.2 bundle) and SQLite FTS5 search.
  • README provides an instant setup path: cupertino setup then cupertino serve.
  • README includes one-command wiring for Claude Code (claude mcp add cupertino --scope user -- $(which cupertino)).

FAQ

  • Do I need internet after setup?: For offline search, no — once the bundle is downloaded, the index is local.
  • Can I use it with Codex/Cursor?: Yes — README includes config snippets for Codex TOML and Cursor .cursor/mcp.json.
  • Should I build the database myself?: Only if you need custom sources; README notes remote build can take ~45 minutes.
