When you launch Copilot for Xcode and Xcode, MCP servers and maybe other services are making terminal icons appear in the dock. These icons go away if you quit Xcode or Copilot. I believe this is related to MCP servers, but I'm also seeing more icons than I have servers, so maybe other services are involved. These icons are all pointing to Node processes. Note that you need to have both Xcode and Copilot to be running for the icons to be visible.

Versions

• Copilot for Xcode: 0.36.123
• Xcode: 16.4
