信息 Expo MCP 服务器需要一个 EAS 付费计划

模型上下文协议 (MCP) 是一种标准协议,允许 AI 模型与外部数据源集成,从而提供增强的上下文以获得更精确的响应。它使 AI 辅助工具(如智能代理)能够更深入地理解你的开发环境,从而更好地协助处理你的代码库。

Expo MCP 服务器是由 Expo 托管的远程 MCP 服务器,它可以与 Claude Code、Cursor、VS Code 等流行的 AI 辅助工具集成,使它们能够直接与你的 Expo 项目进行交互。

🌐 Expo MCP Server is a remote MCP server hosted by Expo that integrates with popular AI-assisted tools such as Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code, and others, enabling them to interact directly with your Expo projects.

使用 Expo 提升你的 AI 辅助应用构建工具。

Expo MCP 服务器是做什么的?

🌐 What does Expo MCP Server do?

Expo MCP 服务器教会你的 AI 辅助工具关于 Expo SDK 的知识,并让它们与移动模拟器和 React Native 开发工具进行互动。以下是一些 Expo MCP 服务器增强的任务示例:

🌐 Expo MCP Server teaches your AI-assisted tools about the Expo SDK and lets them interact with mobile simulators and the React Native DevTools. These are some examples of the tasks Expo MCP Server enhances:

了解使用 Expo 开发。 你的 AI 辅助工具可以按需获取最新的官方 Expo 文档,并用它来回复如下提示信息:

  • 我该如何使用 Expo Router?
  • 在 Expo 文档中查找实现深度链接的方法
  • 阅读 Expo Router 文档页面
  • Expo CNG是什么?

管理依赖。 Expo MCP 服务器会引导你安装我们推荐的软件包,并使用 npx expo install 安装已知的兼容版本。

  • 添加带有基本 CRUD 操作的 SQLite
  • 安装 expo-camera 并教我如何拍照
  • 添加 expo-notifications 以启用推送通知

管理构建和工作流。 Expo MCP 服务器可以触发和监控 EAS 构建,运行工作流,并从 TestFlight 获取崩溃数据:

  • 调查为什么我最近在 EAS 上的 iOS 构建失败
  • 识别最近失败工作流中的任何模式
  • 创建一个运行 Maestro 测试的工作流程
  • 显示我最近的 TestFlight 崩溃
  • 显示我的应用的 TestFlight 反馈

自动化视觉验证和测试。 多模态 AI 辅助工具可以在模拟器中截图并与正在运行的应用互动。Expo MCP 服务器通过在项目依赖中添加 expo-mcp 包来启用本地功能。

  • 添加一个蓝色圆形视图,并确保它正确渲染
  • 添加一个按钮,然后点击它以验证交互是否正常
  • 添加一个点击会增加计数的按钮,并验证状态是否正确更新

你的 AI 辅助工具可以自主编写代码,捕捉截图以验证界面是否正确,测试交互,并修复发现的问题。

🌐 Your AI-assisted tools can autonomously write the code, capture screenshots to verify the UI is correct, test interactions, and fix issues they find.

Prerequisites

3 requirements

1.

拥有 EAS 付费计划的 Expo 账户

使用 Expo MCP 服务器需要 EAS 付费计划

2.

一个关于最新 SDK 的 Expo 项目

使用 npx create-expo-app@latest --template default@sdk-55 创建一个项目,或确保现有项目已安装最新的 expo 包。

3.

一个具有远程MCP支持的AI辅助工具

Claude Code、Cursor、VS Code 或任何其他支持远程 MCP 服务器的工具。

安装与设置

🌐 Installation and setup

1

安装 Expo MCP 服务器

🌐 Install Expo MCP Server

Expo MCP 服务器支持与各种 AI 辅助工具集成。使用下面的一般设置,或展开特定工具以获取详细说明:

🌐 Expo MCP Server supports integration with various AI-assisted tools. Use the general settings below or expand your specific tool for detailed instructions:

  • 服务器类型:可串流 HTTP
  • URL: https://mcp.expo.dev/mcp
  • 身份验证:OAuth
Claude 代码设置
Terminal
claude mcp add --transport http expo-mcp https://mcp.expo.dev/mcp

安装后,在你的 Claude Code 会话中运行 /mcp 以进行身份验证。

🌐 After installation, run /mcp in your Claude Code session to authenticate.

光标设置

点击以下链接安装 Cursor 的 MCP 服务器:

🌐 Click the following link to install the MCP server for Cursor:

Install MCP Server
VS Code 设置
  1. 打开命令面板(Cmd ⌘ + Shift + PCtrl + Shift + P
  2. 运行 MCP:添加服务器
  3. 选择 HTTP
  4. 请输入服务器详细信息:
    • URL: https://mcp.expo.dev/mcp
    • 名称: expo-mcp
Codex 设置
Terminal
codex mcp add expo-mcp --url https://mcp.expo.dev/mcp

上述命令会将 MCP 服务器添加到你的 Codex 配置文件中,并提示你使用 Expo 账户进行身份验证。

🌐 The above command adds the MCP server to your Codex configuration file and prompts you to authenticate with your Expo account.

2

使用 Expo 进行身份验证

🌐 Authenticate with Expo

安装 MCP 服务器后,你需要使用以下两种方法之一进行身份验证:

🌐 After installing the MCP server, you'll need to authenticate using one of two methods:

访问令牌(推荐)

🌐 Access token (recommended)

从你的 Expo 账户生成一个个人访问令牌,并在 OAuth 流程中使用它。

🌐 Generate a Personal access token from your Expo account and use it during the OAuth flow.

  • 要生成访问令牌,请在 EAS 仪表板中打开 访问令牌 设置页面。
  • 个人访问令牌 下,点击 创建令牌。复制该令牌并在 OAuth 流程中使用。

证书

🌐 Credentials

使用你的 Expo 账户用户名和密码。在这种情况下,服务器将自动生成访问令牌。

🌐 Use your Expo account username and password. In this case, the server will generate an access token automatically.

3

设置本地功能(推荐)

🌐 Set up local capabilities (Recommended)

信息 本地功能仅在 SDK 54 及更高版本 中可用。

要获得完整的 MCP 体验,包括从 iOS 模拟器截图、打开开发者工具和自动化功能,请设置本地 Expo 开发服务器:

🌐 For the full MCP experience with advanced features like taking screenshots from your iOS Simulator, opening DevTools, and automation capabilities, set up a local Expo development server:

Terminal
cd /path/to/your-project

# Install the expo-mcp package
npx expo install expo-mcp --dev

# Ensure you are logged in to Expo CLI with the same account as the one used to# authenticate with the MCP server
npx expo whoami || npx expo login

# Start the dev server with MCP capabilities
EXPO_UNSTABLE_MCP_SERVER=1 npx expo start

重要 每当你启动或停止开发服务器时,你需要在 AI 辅助工具中 重新连接或重启 你的 MCP 服务器连接,以确保 AI 辅助工具获得更新的功能。

服务器能力与本地能力

🌐 Server capabilities versus local capabilities

Expo MCP 服务器根据你的设置提供两种类型的功能:

🌐 Expo MCP Server provides two types of capabilities depending on your setup:

服务器功能

🌐 Server capabilities

服务器功能只需通过远程 MCP 服务器连接即可使用,无需设置本地开发服务器。search_documentation 工具就是服务器功能的一个例子。

🌐 Server capabilities are available with just the remote MCP server connection, without needing to set up a local development server. The search_documentation tool is an example of a server capability.

本地能力

🌐 Local capabilities

本地功能需要本地 Expo 开发服务器运行,并提供与本地开发环境交互的高级功能:

🌐 Local capabilities require a local Expo development server to be running and provide advanced features that interact with your local development environment:

  • 自动化工具:截屏、点击视图、通过 testID 查找元素
  • 开发工具:打开 React Native 开发工具
  • 项目分析:生成 expo-router 网站地图

这些功能使更复杂的工作流程成为可能,例如自动化测试、视觉验证和更深入的项目分析。要使用本地功能,你需要遵循上文的设置本地功能部分。

🌐 These capabilities enable more sophisticated workflows like automated testing, visual verification, and deeper project introspection. To use local capabilities, you will need to follow the Set up local capabilities section above.

可用的MCP功能

🌐 Available MCP capabilities

信息 MCP 的功能可能会随着 expo-mcp 套件更新或 MCP 服务器的更改而变化。以下列表仅供参考,可能不是最新的。
