# Expo Docs MCP Server MCP server for semantic search of pre-indexed Expo documentation. Search through Expo SDK documentation using AI-powered semantic search with version-specific results. ## Features - 🔍 **Semantic Search**: AI-powered search through Expo documentation - 📚 **Version-Specific**: Search across different Expo SDK versions (v51, v52, v53, latest) - ⚡ **Fast Results**: Pre-indexed documentation with HNSW vector search - 🎯 **Relevant Results**: Similarity scoring and configurable result limits ## Tools ### search-expo-docs Search Expo documentation using semantic search. **Parameters:** - `query` (string, required): The search query to find relevant Expo documentation - `version` (string, required): Expo SDK version (v53, v52, v51, or latest) - `maxResults` (number, optional): Maximum number of results to return (1-10, default: 5) - `scoreThreshold` (number, optional): Minimum similarity score threshold (0.0-1.0, default: 0.0) **Example:** ```json { "name": "search-expo-docs", "arguments": { "query": "how to use camera in expo", "version": "v53", "maxResults": 3 } } ``` ## Installation ### Via Smithery (Recommended) Install directly using the Smithery CLI: ```bash npx -y @smithery/cli install expo-docs-mcp --client claude ``` ### Manual Installation for Claude Desktop 1. Add to your Claude Desktop configuration file: **macOS**: `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` **Windows**: `%APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json` ```json { "mcpServers": { "expo-docs": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "expo-docs-mcp"], "env": { "OPENAI_API_KEY": "your_openai_api_key_here" } } } } ``` 2. Restart Claude Desktop ### Claude Code Installation For Claude Code, you can use the built-in MCP configuration: 1. **Via Smithery CLI** (Recommended): ```bash npx -y @smithery/cli install expo-docs-mcp --client claude-code ``` 2. **Manual Configuration**: ```bash # Add the MCP server to Claude Code claude mcp add expo-docs npx -y expo-docs-mcp # Set the OpenAI API key claude mcp config set expo-docs OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here # Verify the configuration claude mcp list ``` 3. **Alternative Local Build Method**: ```bash # Clone and build locally git clone https://github.com/jaksm/expo-docs-mcp.git cd expo-docs-mcp npm install npm run build # Add to Claude Code claude mcp add expo-docs node ./dist/mcp-server.js claude mcp config set expo-docs OPENAI_API_KEY=your_openai_api_key_here ``` ## Environment Variables - `OPENAI_API_KEY`: Required for generating text embeddings during search queries. The server uses OpenAI's text-embedding-3-large model to convert your search queries into vectors that can be matched against the pre-indexed Expo documentation vectors. ## Development ```bash # Clone the repository git clone https://github.com/jaksm/expo-docs-mcp.git cd expo-docs-mcp # Install dependencies npm install # Build the project npm run build # Test the MCP server connection npm run test:mcp # Run the server npm start # Development mode npm run dev:server ``` ## Available Versions - `latest`: Most recent Expo SDK documentation - `v53`: Expo SDK 53 - `v52`: Expo SDK 52 - `v51`: Expo SDK 51 ## Usage Examples ### In Claude Desktop or Claude Code Once installed, you can ask questions about Expo documentation directly: **Camera-related queries:** ``` How do I request camera permissions in Expo v53? ``` **Navigation setup:** ``` Show me how to set up React Navigation with Expo Router in the latest version ``` **Build configuration:** ``` What are the EAS build configuration options for iOS in Expo v52? ``` **SDK-specific features:** ``` What are the new features in Expo SDK 53? ``` ### Direct Tool Usage If calling the tool directly, use this format: ```json { "name": "search-expo-docs", "arguments": { "query": "camera permissions and usage", "version": "v53", "maxResults": 3, "scoreThreshold": 0.1 } } ``` ## Architecture - **Semantic Search**: Uses OpenAI embeddings with HNSW indexing - **Version Management**: Separate indexes for each Expo SDK version - **Pre-processed Data**: Documentation is pre-indexed for fast retrieval - **MCP Protocol**: Standard Model Context Protocol implementation ## License MIT ## Contributing Contributions welcome!
