MCP tools for EAS Build and Workflows

FEB 6, 2026 | By Mustafa Abban

Expo MCP Server now includes tools that allow your AI assistants to interact directly with your EAS Builds and Workflows. These tools enable you to manage builds, trigger workflows, and automate debugging issues, all through interacting with your favorite AI-assisted development tools like Claude Code, Cursor, and VS Code.

What's New

Build Management Tools

You can now ask your AI assistant to:

• build_info Check build status: "Get the status of my latest iOS build"
• build_list List builds: "What are my recent builds"
• build_logs View build logs: "Show me the logs for the failed build"
• build_run Trigger new builds: "Run a production build for iOS"
• build_cancel Cancel running builds: "Cancel the build that is currently in progress"
• build_submit Submit to app stores: "Submit the latest build to the App Store"

Workflow Automation Tools

Manage your entire workflow pipeline through conversational prompts:

• workflow_create Create workflows: "Create a workflow for building and deploying"
• workflow_info Monitor runs: "Get the status of the latest workflow run"
• workflow_list List workflows: "What are my recent workflows"
• workflow_logs View logs: "Show me the logs for the build job in the workflow"
• workflow_run Trigger runs: "Run the build-and-deploy workflow"
• workflow_validate Validate configurations: "Validate my workflow file"
• workflow_cancel Cancel workflows: "Cancel the running workflow"

Examples

Retrieve recent workflow runs and investigate the root cause behind their failures:

> what are my recent workflows

Here are your recent EAS workflows:

| Date         | Workflow             | Status      | Branch | Commit         |
|--------------|----------------------|-------------|--------|----------------|
| Feb 4, 2026  | Android Build        | ✅ SUCCESS  | main   | 186dbaa - "ex" |
| Jan 30, 2026 | iOS Build and Submit | ❌ FAILURE  | main   | 186dbaa - "ex" |
| Jan 28, 2026 | iOS Build and Submit | ❌ FAILURE  | main   | 186dbaa - "ex" |
| Jan 28, 2026 | Android Build        | ⚪ CANCELED | main   | 186dbaa - "ex" |

Example scenario with interacting with build tools to inspect and rerun a build:

> what are the logs of my recent build
