Bug Description

Just tried and found one issue. If I ask Claude to look at the logs of the app running on a real device, the MCP thinks it failed if the string „error“ is in a log line. At least that’s what Claude is telling me.

Debug Output

Run the XcodeBuildMCP doctor tool and return the output as markdown verbatim

⏺ There doesn't appear to be a dedicated "doctor" tool in the XcodeBuildMCP server. The available
tools cover project discovery, building, running, testing, UI automation, and simulator/device
management — but none named doctor or similar health-check command.

Editor/Client

MCP Server Version

2.3.2

LLM

MCP Configuration

"XcodeBuildMCP": {
      "command": "npx",

        "mcp"
      ]
    }

Steps to Reproduce

Tried to let Claude read the debug logs of my app.
