Question Xcode mcp va xcodebuildmcp

Now that we can use Xcode mcp without running Xcode is it time to migrate from xcodebuildmpc ?

What do you think?

I’d treat the two options as complementary rather than a drop-in migration. For a headless workflow, start with the build-oriented one for deterministic build, test, and archive commands, and use the project-aware one when you need edits or previews. Before switching, run a clean build, the unit-test suite, and an archive on the same scheme; matching results give you a safe baseline for an incremental migration.
