How to Set Up and Use ShipSwift
ShipSwift is an AI-native SwiftUI component library that gives AI coding assistants production-ready iOS components, full-stack recipes, and the structural context needed to build real apps without guessing at implementation details. It exposes its catalog through an MCP server at api.shipswift.app, so tools like Claude Code and Gemini CLI can fetch animation components, chart widgets, authentication modules, camera integrations, and subscription paywalls on demand. iOS developers use it to dramatically accelerate SwiftUI app development by letting their AI assistant pull the exact component code needed for each feature rather than hallucinating implementations.
Prerequisites
- Xcode 15 or later with an iOS 18.0+ deployment target
- Swift 5.0+ and a configured iOS simulator or device
- Node.js 18+ and npx (for the skills installer)
- An MCP-compatible AI client such as Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Cursor, or VS Code Copilot
- An active internet connection to reach the ShipSwift MCP API at api.shipswift.app
Connect the ShipSwift MCP recipe server
Add the ShipSwift HTTP MCP server to your AI client. This gives your AI access to the full recipe catalog including Pro recipes for backend integration and compliance guides.
# Claude Code
claude mcp add --transport http shipswift https://api.shipswift.app/mcp
# Gemini CLI
gemini mcp add --transport http shipswift https://api.shipswift.app/mcp(Optional) Install ShipSwift Skills for offline access
Install the Skills package so your AI can browse component source code locally without requiring the MCP server. This works offline and is useful for reading component implementations directly.
npx skills add signerlabs/shipswift-skillsClone the repository and open in Xcode
Clone the repo to preview all components in the Showcase App on your device or simulator.
git clone https://github.com/signerlabs/ShipSwift.git
cd ShipSwift
open ShipSwift.xcodeprojCopy components into your Xcode project
Each component under ShipSwift/SWPackage/ is self-contained. Copy the files you need from SWAnimation/, SWChart/, SWComponent/, or SWModule/ into your project. Also copy SWUtil/ if the component depends on shared utilities.
# Example: copy the shimmer animation component
cp -r ShipSwift/SWPackage/SWAnimation/Shimmer/ YourApp/Components/Ask your AI to add a component via MCP
With the MCP server connected, simply ask your AI assistant for a specific component. It will fetch the recipe, explain the implementation, and generate the integration code for your project.
ShipSwift Examples
Client configuration
Add ShipSwift to Claude Desktop using the HTTP transport to connect to the hosted MCP recipe server.
{
"mcpServers": {
"shipswift": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://api.shipswift.app/mcp"
}
}
}Prompts to try
These prompts work with Claude Code or any MCP-connected AI client after adding the ShipSwift server.
- "Add a shimmer loading animation to the product list screen."
- "Show me all chart components and add a donut chart for subscription breakdowns."
- "Build an authentication flow with email/password and social login using SWAuth."
- "Add a subscription paywall using StoreKit 2 with a weekly and annual plan."
- "Integrate the SWCamera module with face detection for a selfie feature."Troubleshooting ShipSwift
MCP server connection to api.shipswift.app times out
Confirm your AI client supports HTTP transport for MCP (Claude Code and Gemini CLI do; some clients only support stdio). Check that your network allows outbound HTTPS to api.shipswift.app on port 443.
Xcode build fails after copying a SWModule component
SWModule components may depend on SWUtil and SWComponent. Copy the full SWUtil/ directory and any referenced SWComponent/ files into your project alongside the module. Check the dependency rules: SWModule may import SWUtil and SWComponent only.
AI assistant generates incorrect SwiftUI syntax for a component
All ShipSwift types use the SW prefix (e.g. SWAlertManager) and view modifiers use the .sw lowercase prefix (e.g. .swAlert()). If the AI uses wrong names, point it to the specific source file in the ShipSwift/SWPackage/ directory for the correct API.
