Here's an example of Claude using this MCP server to create an esa post:

[Claude] Please create a new post in esa. The title should be "Project X Progress Report" and the body should include "# This Week's Progress

- Implementation of Feature A completed
- Testing of Feature B started

## Next Week's Plan

- Start implementation of Feature C".

[MCP Server] Using the esa_create_post tool to create a new post.

[Result]
{
  "number": 123,
  "name": "Project X Progress Report",
  "body_md": "# This Week's Progress

- Implementation of Feature A completed
- Testing of Feature B started

## Next Week's Plan

- Start implementation of Feature C",
  "wip": false,
  "created_at": "2023-06-01T12:34:56+09:00",
  "updated_at": "2023-06-01T12:34:56+09:00",
  "url": "https://your-team.esa.io/posts/123"
}

[Claude] The post has been created successfully. The post number is 123, and you can access it at the following URL:
https://your-team.esa.io/posts/123

Troubleshooting

Access Token Issues

Error: Request failed with status code 401

If you see this error, your esa access token may be invalid or expired. Generate a new access token from the esa settings screen and update your environment variable.

Permission Issues

Error: Request failed with status code 403

If you see this error, the current access token doesn't have the necessary permissions. Check the permissions for your access token in the esa settings screen and issue a new token if needed.

FAQ

What is the esa MCP server?
esa is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server profile on explainx.ai. MCP lets AI hosts (e.g. Claude Desktop, Cursor) call tools and resources through a standard interface; this page summarizes categories, install hints, and community ratings.
How do MCP servers relate to agent skills?
Skills are reusable instruction packages (often SKILL.md); MCP servers expose live capabilities. Teams frequently combine both—skills for workflows, MCP for APIs and data. See explainx.ai/skills and explainx.ai/mcp-servers for parallel directories.
How are reviews shown for esa?
This profile displays 10 aggregated ratings (sample rows for discoverability plus signed-in user reviews). Average score is about 4.5 out of 5—verify behavior in your own environment before production use.

  • Shikha Mishra· Oct 10, 2024

    esa is among the better-indexed MCP projects we tried; the explainx.ai summary tracks the official description.

  • Piyush G· Sep 9, 2024

    We evaluated esa against two servers with overlapping tools; this profile had the clearer scope statement.

  • Chaitanya Patil· Aug 8, 2024

    Useful MCP listing: esa is the kind of server we cite when onboarding engineers to host + tool permissions.

  • Sakshi Patil· Jul 7, 2024

    esa reduced integration guesswork — categories and install configs on the listing matched the upstream repo.

  • Ganesh Mohane· Jun 6, 2024

    I recommend esa for teams standardizing on MCP; the explainx.ai page compares cleanly with sibling servers.

  • Oshnikdeep· May 5, 2024

    Strong directory entry: esa surfaces stars and publisher context so we could sanity-check maintenance before adopting.

  • Dhruvi Jain· Apr 4, 2024

    esa has been reliable for tool-calling workflows; the MCP profile page is a good permalink for internal docs.

  • Rahul Santra· Mar 3, 2024

    According to our notes, esa benefits from clear Model Context Protocol framing — fewer ambiguous “AI plugin” claims.

  • Pratham Ware· Feb 2, 2024

    We wired esa into a staging workspace; the listing’s GitHub and npm pointers saved time versus hunting across READMEs.

  • Yash Thakker· Jan 1, 2024

    esa is a well-scoped MCP server in the explainx.ai directory — install snippets and categories matched our Claude Code setup.
