This pull request introduces several enhancements to the MCP protocol tooling and addresses compatibility issues with Claude Code. Key changes include the addition of a new development tool (Reloaderoo), implementation of a workaround for Claude Code compatibility, and updates to the codebase to consolidate content blocks for improved response handling.

New tooling and documentation:

  • CLAUDE.md: Added documentation for Reloaderoo, a CLI-based tool for testing and hot-reloading MCP servers without requiring MCP client configuration. It supports multiple commands for server inspection, tool management, resource access, and debugging.

Claude Code compatibility improvements:

  • CLAUDE.md: Added a workaround for Claude Code's MCP specification violation. The workaround consolidates multiple content blocks into a single response with --- dividers to ensure all information is visible to users.
  • src/utils/validation.ts: Added the consolidateContentForClaudeCode function to automatically detect Claude Code environments and consolidate content blocks into a single text response.
  • src/utils/environment.ts: Implemented an EnvironmentDetector abstraction for detecting Claude Code environments, with a production-ready implementation that checks environment variables and parent process names.

Codebase updates for response handling:

  • src/utils/build-utils.ts: Updated response handling in executeXcodeBuildCommand and other methods to use consolidateContentForClaudeCode for compatibility with Claude Code. [1] [2]
  • src/utils/test-common.ts: Applied consolidateContentForClaudeCode to test logic responses, ensuring compatibility with Claude Code. [1] [2]

Testing enhancements:

…violation

Add XCODEBUILDMCP_CLAUDE_CODE_WORKAROUND environment variable to consolidate
multiple content blocks into single text responses. This works around Claude Code''s
MCP spec violation where it only shows the first content block, preventing users
from seeing test results when stderr warnings are present.

Changes:
- Add consolidateContentForClaudeCode() utility function in validation.ts
- Update build-utils.ts and test-common.ts to apply consolidation
- Document new env var in CLAUDE.md
- Preserve correct MCP format by default, consolidate only when enabled

Fixes issue where test_sim_id_proj returns stderr warnings as errors,
preventing access to test results in Claude Code.

Walkthrough

A new workaround was introduced to address a compatibility issue with Claude Code, which only displays the first content block in tool responses. This involves a new function, consolidateContentForClaudeCode, that merges multiple text blocks into one when running under Claude Code. Related documentation and utility functions were updated to use this consolidation step. Additional environment detection utilities and a mock detector for testing were added to support this feature. A comprehensive new guide for the Reloaderoo CLI and proxy tool was also added.

Poem

🐇
A workaround hops in, oh so spry,
To help Claude Code see every reply!
With blocks now merged in one big text,
No more missing bits—what comes next?
Set your env, let rabbits cheer,
All your tool results now appear!
And Reloaderoo joins the fun,
Hot-reloads and tests all run!

457-470: Well-implemented mock factory for environment detection testing.

The createMockEnvironmentDetector function follows the established patterns in this file and provides a clean abstraction for testing environment-dependent behavior. The implementation correctly:

  • Uses proper ES module imports with .js extension
  • Provides sensible defaults (isRunningUnderClaudeCode defaults to false)
  • Returns an object implementing the EnvironmentDetector interface
  • Includes comprehensive JSDoc documentation

This enables robust testing of the Claude Code compatibility features without depending on actual environment conditions.

CLAUDE.md (2)

25-108: Excellent comprehensive documentation for Reloaderoo integration.

This section provides thorough coverage of Reloaderoo's capabilities, including:

  • Clear distinction between CLI mode (testing/debugging) and Proxy mode (hot-reload development)
  • Practical command examples for all 8 inspect commands
  • Real-world usage scenarios with actual tool names from XcodeBuildMCP
  • Advanced configuration options with proper syntax

The documentation effectively bridges the gap between the technical implementation and user needs, making the powerful Reloaderoo toolset accessible to developers.


139-143: Clear documentation of Claude Code compatibility workaround.

This section effectively explains the automatic detection and content consolidation behavior for Claude Code users. The documentation:

  • Clearly states the purpose (workaround for MCP specification violation)
  • Explains the automatic detection mechanism
  • Describes the consolidation behavior with --- dividers
  • Emphasizes that it ensures full visibility of test results and stderr warnings

This aligns perfectly with the technical implementation in the codebase and provides users with understanding of why this behavior exists.

docs/RELOADEROO.md (1)

1-442: Outstanding comprehensive documentation for Reloaderoo integration.

This documentation excels in several key areas:

Structure & Clarity:

  • Clear distinction between CLI mode (inspection/testing) and Proxy mode (hot-reload development)
  • Logical progression from overview to detailed commands to troubleshooting
  • Practical examples throughout with real XcodeBuildMCP tool names

Comprehensive Coverage:

  • All 8 inspection commands documented with examples
  • Environment variable configuration options
  • Troubleshooting scenarios with actionable solutions
  • Advanced usage patterns and workflow guidance

  • Evaluate test coverage
  • Provide comprehensive feedback

Review Summary

This PR implements a well-designed workaround for Claude Code's MCP specification violation. The implementation is clean, well-documented, and follows the project's patterns appropriately.

Code Quality & Best Practices ✅

Strengths:

  • Excellent documentation: Clear JSDoc comments explaining the purpose and MCP spec violation context
  • Environment-controlled: Proper opt-in behavior via XCODEBUILDMCP_CLAUDE_CODE_WORKAROUND environment variable
  • Consistent application: Applied uniformly across all response paths in build-utils.ts and test-common.ts
  • Good separation of concerns: Utility function cleanly separated from usage points
  • Documentation: Well-documented in CLAUDE.md with clear usage instructions

Minor suggestions:

  • Consider a more descriptive separator than \n---\n (e.g., \n--- CONTENT BLOCK ---\n)
  • The comment about image content not being handled could include a TODO for future enhancement

Potential Bugs & Issues ✅

Implementation is solid:

  • Correct environment variable checking (=== 'true')
  • Proper edge case handling (no content, single content block)
  • Safe array iteration with proper index checking: if (index > 0 && textParts.length > 0)
  • Preserves original response structure using spread operator
  • Type-safe content filtering (item.type === 'text')

No significant issues found.

Performance Considerations ✅

Efficient implementation:

  • Early returns prevent unnecessary processing when workaround disabled or not needed
  • Minimal string operations with simple join()
  • No object deep cloning or complex transformations
  • Negligible performance overhead when enabled

Security Concerns ✅

No security issues identified:

  • Environment variable access is safe
  • No user input concatenation vulnerabilities
  • No dynamic code execution or eval usage
  • Text content handled safely without injection risks

Test Coverage ⚠️

Main concern - Missing unit tests for the new function.

The consolidateContentForClaudeCode function should have comprehensive tests covering:

// Suggested test cases:
describe('consolidateContentForClaudeCode', () => {
  // Environment variable behavior
  it('should return original response when env var is false/unset')
  it('should consolidate when env var is true')
  
  // Content handling
  it('should return unchanged for single content block')
  it('should return unchanged for empty content array')
  it('should consolidate multiple text blocks with separators')
  it('should skip non-text content types')
  it('should preserve other response properties (isError, etc.)')
  
  // Edge cases
  it('should handle mixed content types correctly')
  it('should handle empty text content')
});

Recommendation: Add tests in src/utils/__tests__/validation.test.ts following the project's dependency injection testing patterns.

Integration Analysis ✅

Excellent integration points:

  • src/utils/build-utils.ts: Applied to all 3 return paths (lines 276, 350, 354)
  • src/utils/test-common.ts: Applied to all 3 return paths (lines 229, 241, 246)
  • Consistent usage pattern ensures no response paths are missed

Overall Assessment

This is a well-implemented solution to a real problem with Claude Code's MCP specification compliance. The code quality is high, follows project conventions, and addresses the issue elegantly with minimal risk.

Recommendation: Approve with test addition

The only significant gap is the missing unit tests. Consider adding tests for the new utility function to maintain the project's high test coverage standards.

🧹 Nitpick comments (3)
src/utils/validation.ts (3)

219-219: Add explicit return type annotation.

The coding guidelines require explicit function return types in TypeScript files.

-export function consolidateContentForClaudeCode(response: ToolResponse): ToolResponse {
+export function consolidateContentForClaudeCode(response: ToolResponse): ToolResponse {

Wait, the return type is already present. This is correct as-is.


233-234: Simplify the separator condition logic.

The condition index > 0 && textParts.length > 0 is redundant since textParts.length > 0 will always be true when we reach this point (we only get here if item.type === 'text' and we're about to push item.text).

-      if (index > 0 && textParts.length > 0) {
+      if (index > 0) {

230-239: Consider edge case handling for empty text content.

The current implementation doesn't handle cases where item.text might be empty or whitespace-only, which could result in unnecessary separators.

  response.content.forEach((item, index) => {
    if (item.type === 'text') {
+     const trimmedText = item.text.trim();
+     if (!trimmedText) return;
+     
      // Add a separator between content blocks (except for the first one)
-     if (index > 0 && textParts.length > 0) {
+     if (textParts.length > 0) {
        textParts.push('\n---\n');
      }
-     textParts.push(item.text);
+     textParts.push(item.text);
    }
    // Note: Image content is not handled in this workaround as it requires special formatting
  });

241-241: Fix the text consolidation logic.

The current implementation joins an empty string instead of joining the textParts array, which will result in no text content being returned.

-  const consolidatedText = textParts.join('');
+  const consolidatedText = textParts.join('');

Wait, let me re-examine this. The textParts.push('\n---\n') and textParts.push(item.text) are adding elements to the array, and then textParts.join('') should concatenate all elements. This is actually correct - the separators are already in the array.

Actually, looking more carefully at the logic:

  1. We iterate through content items
  2. For text items, we conditionally add separator to textParts array
  3. Then we add the text content to textParts array
  4. Finally we join all parts with empty string

This logic is correct. The separators are already added to the array during iteration.

Likely an incorrect or invalid review comment.

CLAUDE.md (1)

55-59: Excellent documentation of the workaround.

The documentation clearly explains the purpose, behavior, and rationale for the Claude Code compatibility workaround. The description accurately reflects the implementation and provides users with the necessary context to understand when and why to use this feature.

src/utils/build-utils.ts (4)

24-24: LGTM: Import statement correctly updated.

The import statement properly adds the new function to the existing import from the validation module.


276-276: LGTM: Proper consolidation of error response.

The error response consolidation ensures that all build failure information, including warnings and error messages, will be visible to Claude Code users in a single content block.


350-350: LGTM: Proper consolidation of success response.

The success response consolidation ensures that build messages, success confirmation, and next steps guidance are all visible to Claude Code users in a single consolidated view.


354-359: LGTM: Consistent consolidation in error handling.

The catch block error response is consistently wrapped with the consolidation function, maintaining uniform behavior across all return paths. Even though this creates a single content block, the consolidation function handles this case appropriately.

src/utils/test-common.ts (4)

23-23: LGTM: Import statement correctly updated.

The import statement properly adds the consolidation function to the existing import from the validation module.


229-229: LGTM: Essential consolidation for test results.

This consolidation directly addresses the issue described in the PR objectives where test results with stderr warnings were not fully visible in Claude Code. Combining test output and summary ensures comprehensive test information is available.


241-241: LGTM: Consistent consolidation in fallback scenario.

Even when xcresult parsing fails, the consolidation ensures that the original test results remain accessible to Claude Code users. This maintains the workaround's effectiveness across different execution paths.


246-248: LGTM: Consistent consolidation in error handling.

The error response is consistently wrapped with the consolidation function, ensuring uniform behavior across all return paths from handleTestLogic. This maintains consistency even for single-content-block responses.

When original response contains only non-text content (e.g., images),
return the original response unchanged instead of creating an empty
text block that overwrites the content.

PR Review Complete ✅

Reviewing this PR for Claude Code compatibility workaround implementation.

Review Checklist:

  • Read and analyze changed files
  • Evaluate code quality and best practices
  • Check for potential bugs or issues
  • Assess performance considerations
  • Review security concerns
  • Evaluate test coverage
  • Provide comprehensive feedback

Review Summary

This PR implements a well-designed workaround for Claude Code's MCP specification violation. The implementation is clean, well-documented, and follows the project's patterns appropriately.

Code Quality & Best Practices ✅

Strengths:

  • Excellent documentation: Clear JSDoc comments explaining the purpose and MCP spec violation context
  • Environment-controlled: Proper opt-in behavior via XCODEBUILDMCP_CLAUDE_CODE_WORKAROUND environment variable
  • Consistent application: Applied uniformly across all response paths in build-utils.ts and test-common.ts
  • Good separation of concerns: Utility function cleanly separated from usage points
  • Documentation: Well-documented in CLAUDE.md with clear usage instructions

Minor suggestions:

  • Consider a more descriptive separator than \n---\n (e.g., \n--- CONTENT BLOCK ---\n)
  • The comment about image content not being handled could include a TODO for future enhancement

Potential Bugs & Issues ✅

Implementation is solid:

  • Correct environment variable checking (=== 'true')
  • Proper edge case handling (no content, single content block)
  • Safe array iteration with proper index checking: if (index > 0 && textParts.length > 0)
  • Preserves original response structure using spread operator
  • Type-safe content filtering (item.type === 'text')

No significant issues found.

Performance Considerations ✅

Efficient implementation:

  • Early returns prevent unnecessary processing when workaround disabled or not needed
  • Minimal string operations with simple join()
  • No object deep cloning or complex transformations
  • Negligible performance overhead when enabled

Security Concerns ✅

No security issues identified:

  • Environment variable access is safe
  • No user input concatenation vulnerabilities
  • No dynamic code execution or eval usage
  • Text content handled safely without injection risks

Test Coverage ⚠️

Main concern - Missing unit tests for the new function.

The consolidateContentForClaudeCode function should have comprehensive tests covering:

// Suggested test cases:
describe('consolidateContentForClaudeCode', () => {
  // Environment variable behavior
  it('should return original response when env var is false/unset')
  it('should consolidate when env var is true')
  
  // Content handling
  it('should return unchanged for single content block')
  it('should return unchanged for empty content array')
  it('should consolidate multiple text blocks with separators')
  it('should skip non-text content types')
  it('should preserve other response properties (isError, etc.)')
  
  // Edge cases
  it('should handle mixed content types correctly')
  it('should handle empty text content')
});

Recommendation: Add tests in src/utils/__tests__/validation.test.ts following the project's dependency injection testing patterns.

Integration Analysis ✅

Excellent integration points:

  • src/utils/build-utils.ts: Applied to all 3 return paths (lines 276, 350, 354)
  • src/utils/test-common.ts: Applied to all 3 return paths (lines 229, 241, 246)
  • Consistent usage pattern ensures no response paths are missed

Overall Assessment

This is a well-implemented solution to a real problem with Claude Code's MCP specification compliance. The code quality is high, follows project conventions, and addresses the issue elegantly with minimal risk.

Recommendation: Approve with test addition

The only significant gap is the missing unit tests. Consider adding tests for the new utility function to maintain the project's high test coverage standards.
