Usage Example
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.
