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 48 aggregated ratings (sample rows for discoverability plus signed-in user reviews). Average score is about 4.7 out of 5—verify behavior in your own environment before production use.

Troubleshooting

  • MCP server not loading: Check config syntax, verify installation
  • Connection errors: Check network, firewall, credentials
  • Feature not working: Read server docs, check required parameters
  • Performance issues: Monitor resource usage, check for network latency
  • Conflicts with other servers: Check port assignments, namespace collisions

Best Practices

✓ Do

  • +Read server documentation thoroughly before setup
  • +Start with simple use cases to validate functionality
  • +Test in non-production environment first
  • +Monitor resource usage and performance
  • +Keep servers updated for bug fixes and new features
  • +Document configuration for team members
  • +Use environment variables for sensitive configuration

✗ Don't

  • Don't grant overly permissive access to MCP servers
  • Don't skip reading security considerations in docs
  • Don't expose sensitive data without proper controls
  • Don't run untrusted MCP servers without code review
  • Don't ignore error messages—investigate root cause

💡 Pro Tips

  • Combine multiple MCP servers for powerful workflows
  • Create custom MCP servers for your specific needs
  • Share successful configurations with team
  • Use MCP inspector for debugging
  • Join MCP community for tips and troubleshooting

Technical Details

Architecture

Model Context Protocol standardizes how AI hosts (Claude, Cursor) communicate with external tools and data sources through server implementations.

Protocols

  • Model Context Protocol (MCP)
  • JSON-RPC 2.0
  • stdio or HTTP transport

Compatibility

  • Claude Desktop
  • Cursor IDE
  • Custom MCP clients

When to Use This

✓ Use When

Use when you need Claude to access external data, execute actions, or integrate with tools. Best for extending AI capabilities beyond conversation.

✗ Avoid When

Avoid when native integrations exist (use official APIs directly), for real-time critical systems, or when security/compliance requires zero external dependencies.

Integration

  • Tool composition: Chain multiple MCP tools in workflows
  • Context augmentation: Provide AI with relevant external data
  • Action delegation: Let AI execute tasks on external systems
  • Bidirectional sync: Keep AI context and external systems in sync
