About ShipSwift
ShipSwift is a SwiftUI component library and skill catalog for AI-assisted iOS development. It provides reusable UI, animation, chart, and app-module code, with an MCP server that lets AI tools retrieve skills on demand.
Key features
- 01Browse SwiftUI components and skills
- 02Use animation and chart components
- 03Access authentication, camera, and chat modules
- 04Search and retrieve skills through three tools
- 05Copy source files into an Xcode project
Use cases
- 01Add animations or charts to a SwiftUI app
- 02Build authentication or chat interfaces
- 03Let an AI tool find implementation guidance
- 04Use components directly from local source files
MCP support
ShipSwift's MCP server exposes the listSkills, getSkill, and searchSkills tools so AI clients can discover and retrieve skills. The README also describes connecting to https://api.shipswift.app/mcp.
Configuration
Remote servers need no local install. Pick your client, then copy the config or install in one click.

Servers that need sign-in will prompt on first connect.

What is ShipSwift?
One command gives your AI everything it needs — production-ready SwiftUI components, full-stack skills, and the context to build real apps without guessing.
Browse every skill live at shipswift.app — searchable catalog, copy-paste source, live previews.
Download the Showcase App to preview every component on your device.
Need a custom app built? We do that too.
ShipSwift gets your AI 80% of the way. If you need the last 20% — your unique features, your brand, your backend — wired up by the people who wrote the skills, we ship it for you.
| ⚡ 48-hour demo | Working prototype on your TestFlight within 2 days of brief |
| 🚀 4-week delivery | Production-ready iOS app, App Store-submission ready |
| 💵 From $5,000 | Fixed price, milestone-billed, no hourly surprises |
Built on the same component library you see in this repo, so you keep ownership and can extend forever.

Quick Start
Option 1: Skills + MCP Server (Recommended)
Step 1 — Install ShipSwift Skills:
npx skills add signerlabs/shipswift-skills
Step 2 — Connect the MCP server so your AI can fetch skills:
# 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
For Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Windsurf, and other tools, see the Skills repo for MCP setup.
Step 3 — Ask your AI:
- "Add a shimmer loading animation"
- "Build an authentication flow with Cognito"
- "Show me all chart components"
Option 2: Local Skills (No MCP Required)
Install skills that read source files directly from this repo — works offline, no server needed:
npx skills add signerlabs/ShipSwift
Your AI can then browse the component catalog and read source code locally. Try:
- "Explore ShipSwift skills"
- "Add a shimmer animation"
- "Build a chat feature"
Tip: If you also connect the MCP server (Option 1), your AI gets access to additional Pro skills (backend guides, compliance templates, pitfall docs).
Option 3: File Copy
- Clone this repository
- Copy the files you need from
ShipSwift/SWPackage/into your Xcode project - Each component in
SWAnimation/,SWChart/, andSWComponent/is self-contained — just copy the file andSWUtil/if needed
Run the Showcase App
git clone https://github.com/signerlabs/ShipSwift.git
cd ShipSwift
open ShipSwift.xcodeproj
Select a simulator or device, then press Cmd+R to build and run.

View modifiers use .sw lowercase prefix (e.g., .swAlert(), .swPageLoading(), .swPrimary).
Dependency Rules
SWUtil ← no dependencies on other SWPackage directories
SWAnimation ← may depend on SWUtil only
SWChart ← may depend on SWUtil only
SWComponent ← may depend on SWUtil only
SWModule ← may depend on SWUtil and SWComponent

New to MCP?
From what the protocol is to installing your first server, these answers cover most first questions.
An open protocol that defines how AI applications connect to external tools and data in a uniform way. Clients talk to the model; MCP servers provide tools, resources and prompt templates. They exchange standard messages, so one server can be reused by many clients.
