We're winding down Expo Agent, the web-based agent at agent.expo.dev. After July 31, 2026 it won't be available anymore. Your projects are safe, and getting them out takes a couple of minutes. The steps are below.
We learned a great deal from building the Expo Agent beta, and we’ve been continuously applying those lessons across the Expo SDK, CLI, Expo MCP, agentic workflows, and other tools—both open source and within EAS, including products available today and others still to come.
In the current environment, rather than building a web-based harness and IDE, we believe we can have a much greater impact by integrating with the harnesses developers already love, use every day, and invest time in deeply customizing to their preferences. That aligns with our own experience and with feedback from Expo Agent beta users, including both engineers and non-technical builders.
We’ll have much more to share in the coming weeks and months.
Steps for exporting a project from Expo Agent
Every Expo Agent project is a real Expo project you can download and keep working on anywhere.
Here are the steps we recommend for everyone who wants to keep building:
- Open your project in Expo Agent and click Download. (If you linked a GitHub repo, you can pull it from there instead.)
cdinto the folder and runbun install, ornpm install.- Open it in your editor and keep building with Claude Code or Codex. Add the Expo MCP server and our open-source skills so your agent picks up the same Expo context the web agent had: docs.expo.dev/skills
- Build, preview, and submit through Expo’s services the way you already do. None of that changes.
If you haven't done much local development before, this guide takes you from a prompt to a running app: docs.expo.dev/tutorial/build-with-ai/introduction
Try to export before July 31, 2026. Stuck on anything? Send us a note in Discord and we'll help you move it.
Thanks for building with us,
The Expo Team
