NativeKeel Overview

NativeKeel MCP server reviews React Native and Expo project files for upgrade blockers, store requirements, crash risks, security findings, and performance signals. It exposes analysis workflows through MCP, including security_audit, improve_app, verify_upgrade, and explain_error. Reach for it when an agent needs to inspect a mobile codebase, explain a build or store error, plan improvements, or compare findings after an upgrade. Analysis is static, source code stays local, and security results are not a penetration test or compliance verdict.

Primary Use Cases for NativeKeel:

Audit a React Native or Expo project before an upgrade
Find store submission blockers before releasing a build
Review source for exposed credentials and unsafe data flows
Generate a prioritized plan from existing app findings
