What problem does it solve?

Incorrectly starting the Metro bundler can disable crucial expo-mcp local capabilities, hindering autonomous testing and development. This Skill ensures Metro is always configured correctly, saving debugging time and enabling full testing functionality.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Mandatory MCP Flag: Always starts Metro with EXPO_UNSTABLE_MCP_SERVER=1 to enable expo-mcp's local automation tools (screenshots, taps, element finding).
  • Lifecycle Management: Provides commands to start, stop, and clear Metro's cache, resolving common development issues like module resolution errors or port conflicts.
  • Health Monitoring: Guides on verifying Metro's status and expo-mcp server activation through logs, ensuring everything is running as expected.
  • Use Case: Before running any expo-mcp autonomous tests for your mobile app, use this skill to reliably start the Metro bundler with the necessary MCP flag, ensuring all local testing capabilities are active and preventing test failures due to misconfiguration.
