FAQ
Is there an official Expo MCP server?+
Yes: Expo, maintained by Expo.
How do I connect Expo to Claude?+
In Claude Code run: claude mcp add --transport http expo https://mcp.expo.dev/mcp, then /mcp to sign in. In Claude Desktop or claude.ai, go to Customize > Connectors > Add > Add custom connector and paste https://mcp.expo.dev/mcp.
How do I use the Expo MCP server in Cursor or VS Code?+
Open the Cursor or VS Code tab on the server above: it has the exact mcp.json entry and a one-click install link. The same server also works in Claude Code, Claude Desktop / claude.ai, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code and Codex.
Can I use the Expo MCP server in ChatGPT?+
ChatGPT connects to remote MCP servers only. Expo has a hosted URL: at chatgpt.com/plugins choose + > Add custom MCP server, paste the URL and create it as a plugin.
Is it safe to give an AI agent access to Expo?+
Start with the official server, a read-only or test account and approval prompts on for anything that writes. Content the agent reads from Expo (tickets, messages, pages) can carry prompt-injection instructions, so don't auto-approve actions.
