Setup
Setup guide
- 11. In Switchy, open your workspace settings and navigate to the Integrations tab. 2. Search for Expofp in the MCP directory and click Connect. 3. You'll be prompted to paste your Expofp API token — generate one from your Expofp account dashboard under API Settings. 4. Grant the token read and write permissions for categories and expos. 5. Save the connection and return to any Space. 6. Type '@Expofp list all expos' to confirm the integration works — you should see a list of your active events. 7. To test category management, try '@Expofp add category "Workshops" to event [your-event-id]' using a real event ID from the list. 8. If the category appears in your Expofp dashboard, the setup is complete and your team can start invoking tools in any Space.
What teammates see: by default, memories from Expofp are scoped to the Space (PROJECT visibility) - you can mark any memory PRIVATE or share it ORG-wide.

@Expofp list all expos and show me which ones have events scheduled in the next 30 days
Based on the Expofp API response, here are the active expos: • TechConnect 2024 (ID: 2655) – March 15-17, 2024 • Healthcare Innovation Summit (ID: 2701) – March 22-23, 2024 • Manufacturing Expo West (ID: 2688) – April 5-7, 2024 All three fall within your 30-day window. TechConnect 2024 has 12 categories configured including keynotes, exhibitors, and networking sessions. The Healthcare Summit currently has 8 categories, while Manufacturing Expo West shows 15.
This example demonstrates the MCP's read capability for listing expos. The response shape depends on what's actually configured in your Expofp account. Requires a valid API token with read permissions. Useful for getting event IDs needed by other tools in this MCP.
@Expofp add a new category called 'Workshop Sessions' to event 2655 and confirm it was created
Category 'Workshop Sessions' has been successfully added to TechConnect 2024 (event ID: 2655). New category details: • Category ID: #847 • Name: Workshop Sessions • Event: TechConnect 2024 • Created: Just now This category is now available for organizing workshop-related content in your expo. You can assign exhibitors, sessions, or other expo elements to this category through the Expofp dashboard or by using the update category tool.
This write operation creates a new organizational bucket within an expo. Requires both a valid API token with write permissions and the correct event ID. The category ID returned (847 in this example) is needed if you later want to update or remove this category.
@Expofp list all extras for event 2655, then summarize which ones are most popular based on pricing tiers
Here's what I found for TechConnect 2024 extras: **Premium tier ($500+):** • VIP Lounge Access – $750 • Private Meeting Rooms – $1,200/day **Standard tier ($100-$499):** • Workshop Add-on Pass – $299 • Networking Dinner Ticket – $150 • Exhibitor Booth Upgrade – $400 **Basic tier (under $100):** • Digital Swag Bag – $25 • Mobile App Premium – $50 The standard tier has the most options (3 extras), suggesting mid-range add-ons are where most attendees find value. Premium offerings are limited but high-value for VIP experiences.
This example pairs the MCP's data retrieval with AI reasoning to extract insights from raw expo configuration. The 'extras' concept is Expofp-specific terminology for purchasable add-ons. Actual pricing and availability depend entirely on how the expo organizer configured their event.
Use-case deep-dives
When Expofp MCP makes sense for event ops teams
A 3-person event ops team running 8-12 trade shows a year needs to update floor plan categories in real time as exhibitor contracts change. The Expofp MCP is the right call here if your team already uses Expofp as the floor plan system of record and you're tired of logging into the web UI to rename a pavilion or add a new sponsor tier. The five tools cover category CRUD and extras listing, which maps directly to the "exhibitor just upgraded their booth" workflow. The threshold: if you're only touching categories once per event during initial setup, the MCP is overkill—just use the web UI. But if you're making 3+ category changes per week across active events, the MCP saves the context-switch tax and lets you script bulk updates during contract review calls.
Expofp MCP for multi-client expo portfolio management
A boutique expo agency managing floor plans for 6 clients needs to pull category and extras data into weekly status reports without manually exporting CSVs from each client's Expofp account. The MCP's list-all-expos and list-extras tools let you script a weekly snapshot across the portfolio, then pipe that into your reporting doc or dashboard. This works if your clients all use Expofp and you have API tokens for each account. The trade-off: the toolset is narrow—no exhibitor contact data, no booth assignment details, no analytics. If your reports need more than category structure and extras metadata, you'll still be doing manual exports for the rest. The buying call is simple: if category-level visibility across multiple expos is 40% of your reporting burden, the MCP cuts that piece to zero.
Why Expofp MCP doesn't fit last-minute floor changes
A 2-person onsite team at a 500-booth expo needs to reassign categories when an exhibitor no-shows or a sponsor upgrades mid-event. The Expofp MCP technically supports category updates, but the workflow is borderline for this scenario. You'd need a laptop open with the MCP running in Switchy, which isn't practical when you're walking the floor with a tablet or phone. The MCP shines for pre-event bulk updates or post-event cleanup, not for the "exhibitor at booth 347 just asked to move" moment. If your onsite changes are rare (under 5 per event), the web UI on a tablet is faster. If you're doing 20+ category reassignments per event and can batch them during breaks, the MCP becomes viable—but only if you're already in Switchy for other coordination tasks.
Frequently asked
What does the Expofp MCP do in Switchy?
The Expofp MCP lets your team manage expo floor plan categories and extras directly from Switchy's AI workspace. You can add, update, or remove categories for specific events, list all expos, and pull extras data without switching to the Expofp dashboard. It's useful if you're coordinating event logistics and want AI to handle repetitive category management tasks.
Do I need an Expofp API key to connect this MCP?
Yes. The MCP uses API key authentication, so you'll need a valid Expofp API token before connecting. Whoever sets it up in Switchy should have access to generate or retrieve that key from their Expofp account settings. Without the key, none of the category or extras tools will work.
Can the Expofp MCP edit booth layouts or floor plans?
No. This MCP only manages categories and lists extras for expos. It doesn't touch booth positions, floor plan graphics, or exhibitor assignments. If you need to rearrange booths or update the visual layout, you'll still use Expofp's native editor. The MCP is for metadata and category workflows, not spatial design.
Why use this MCP instead of logging into Expofp directly?
If you're already in Switchy coordinating event tasks with your team, the MCP saves you from context-switching to the Expofp dashboard for simple category updates. You can ask AI to add or rename categories mid-conversation, then move on. It's faster for repetitive admin work, but not a replacement for the full Expofp interface when you need visual tools.
Who on the team should connect the Expofp MCP?
Whoever owns your Expofp account or has API key access should set it up. Once connected in Switchy, any team member with workspace access can use the tools to manage categories or list extras. Just make sure your Expofp plan allows API usage and that the key has the right permissions for category operations.
