SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires exa-mcp-server.

What problem does it solve? Finding current web information, code examples, company intelligence, or professional profiles requires leaving your workflow and manually sifting through search results. This Skill brings Exa's neural search engine directly into your AI assistant so research happens in context. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Web and Advanced Search: Run general queries or filter results by domain and publication date for targeted research. - Code Context Retrieval: Pull code examples and documentation from GitHub, Stack Overflow, and docs sites with configurable token budgets. - Company, People, and Deep Research: Research companies, find professional profiles, crawl full page content, and launch asynchronous AI research agents. - Use Case: While evaluating a vendor, ask for company research on the vendor plus recent funding news, then start a deep research task on the market segment while you continue other work. ## Quick Start Configure the Exa MCP server with your API key, then ask the assistant to search for the latest developments on any topic using Exa.

Frequently Asked Questions about exa-search

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search the web with Exa MCP?▼

Use the web_search_exa tool with a query string and optional numResults parameter to get neural search results. For filtered results, use web_search_advanced_exa with includeDomains, excludeDomains, or publication date constraints.

How to find code examples using Exa search?▼

Call get_code_context_exa with a code or API query and a tokensNum value between 1000 and 50000. It retrieves relevant examples and documentation from GitHub, Stack Overflow, and documentation sites.

What API key do I need for Exa MCP server?▼

You need an EXA_API_KEY from exa.ai, configured in the exa-mcp-server entry of your MCP client configuration file. The server runs via npx with the key passed as an environment variable.

Can Exa search run long research tasks in the background?▼

Yes, deep_researcher_start launches an asynchronous AI research agent and returns a research ID. Poll deep_researcher_check with that ID to retrieve results when the research completes.

What are the limitations of Exa neural search?▼

Exa search quality depends on query phrasing and its indexed corpus, so very recent or obscure content may be missed. The tokensNum parameter caps returned content, and deep research tasks require polling rather than returning immediate results.
