Install

How do I install the Expo MCP server?

Expo is a hosted endpoint at https://api.mcp.ai/p_expo, so there is nothing to install locally. Ready-made configuration for Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex and 5 more is on this page, copied from each client's own documentation.

MCP tools · 25 exposed · ~2,099 tokens

The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →

Tool Tokens
authenticate ~99

MCP.AI for IDE agents (Cursor, etc.): log in in the browser, copy the access token. Best: add it to this server's config as a header `Authorization: Bearer <token>` for a permanent, non-expiring connection. Or paste it here for a session-only login: call with { token: "<jwt>" } after the user pastes, or with no args to get the link.

marketplace ~532

The official mcp.ai marketplace — the in-platform catalog of every MCP/tool, AND the way to run them. Covers capability requests like "find an MCP that does X", "consulta um CPF", "is there a tool for Y". Core flow: action=search discovers MCPs by intent → describe returns one MCP's full profile (every tool with its id + params, pricing, auth) so you pick the right tool_id → invoke RUNS that tool. KEY: invoke works even when the MCP is NOT installed — it runs the tool pontualmente (one-off), without adding the MCP to the toolkit and without bloating the tool list. If the MCP needs a credential/login, invoke returns a connect link; if it is paid and the wallet is empty, invoke returns a checkout/top-up link (the user opens it, then you retry). Use install only to make an MCP PERMANENT in the active toolkit (its tools then show up natively in future sessions); prefer invoke for a single/occasional use. list_tools lists what is callable right now. subscribe/cancel handle per-MCP billing; report_bug sends feedback; request_mcp asks us to build a NEW MCP when nothing fits. Search/describe flag installed_in_toolkit vs installed_in_workspace. Writes (install/uninstall/subscribe/cancel and the one-off install behind invoke) require workspace owner/admin. It also carries the mcp.ai PROMPT LIBRARY, which is about ready-made prompt TEXT rather than MCPs: search_prompts finds one, get_prompt returns its full text with {{variables}} filled, and publish_prompt saves a prompt and returns a shareable mcp.ai/p/<slug> link that opens without login.

Common questions

What is the Expo MCP server?

Expo is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.mcp-dir/expo-mcp. Your Expo and EAS project in natural language: up to date SDK docs, cloud builds (status, logs, trig. This page covers its hosted endpoint (https://api.mcp.ai/p_expo).

Is the Expo MCP server safe to use?

Expo scores 77 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. That is a record of what we were able to check automatically, not an endorsement. The category breakdown on this page shows every signal behind the number, including the ones we could not confirm.

What tools does the Expo MCP server expose?

Expo exposes 25 tools: expo_add_library, expo_read_documentation, expo_search_documentation, expo_learn, expo_workflow_create, and 20 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 2,099 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.

Does the Expo MCP server require authentication?

No. We connected to Expo without credentials and it answered, so anything it exposes is reachable by anyone who knows the address.

Is the Expo MCP server still maintained?

Expo is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 7 October 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
