When do you actually need to open Xcode if you have XcodeBuildMCP [0]?

I haven't opened Xcode in months. My terminal: Claude writes code. build_sim. launch_app_sim. screenshot describe_ui.

What still requires Xcode: Instruments profiling, Signing/provisioning

For UI iteration, describe_ui returning the accessibility tree might actually be more useful to an agent than a preview screenshot.

Can XcodeBuildMCP spit out definitions of C++ symbols? Did Apple just accidentally release a LSP server for Xcode projects? That would be sick.
