The Antigravity Pro Developer Playbook#

Using an agentic IDE like Antigravity in 2026 requires a shift from “typing code” to “orchestrating intelligence.” This guide covers the mental models and technical strategies to build complex apps like GenDash while maximizing credit efficiency.

1 XCode MCP#

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "xcode-tools": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "xcodebuildmcp@latest", "mcp"]
    }
  }
}

2 The Model Garage: Choosing the Right Engine#

In Antigravity, you have a team of experts. Don’t use a supercar for a grocery run.

Antigravity CLI: Git-Managed MCP Configuration (v2.0.0+ Generic Hook-Based Compiler Pipeline)#

In this configuration workflow, all Model Context Protocol (MCP) server definitions are managed via a centralized, version-controlled repository. Directly modifying target configuration files or using basic symlinks from your Obsidian vault has been deprecated.

Instead, a single generic flat list of servers is defined in a master configuration file. This is automatically compiled, adapted, and deployed to all your software clients via an automated Git post-commit pipeline.
