SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires exa-mcp-server.

What problem does it solve? Finding current web information, code examples, or company intelligence requires leaving your workflow to run manual searches across multiple sources. This Skill connects the Exa neural search engine through MCP so research happens directly inside your AI session. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Web and Advanced Search: Run general queries with web_search_exa or filter by domain and publication date with web_search_advanced_exa. - Code Context Retrieval: Pull code examples and documentation from GitHub, Stack Overflow, and docs sites with get_code_context_exa. - Company and People Research: Gather business intelligence with company_research_exa and find professional profiles with people_search_exa. - Async Deep Research: Launch long-running AI research agents with deep_researcher_start and poll results with deep_researcher_check. - Use Case: While debugging a Rust error-handling pattern, ask for code context and receive curated examples from real repositories without opening a browser. ## Quick Start Use exa-search to find the latest React Server Components best practices from react.dev and github.com.

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?▼

Call web_search_exa 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 ranges.

How to find code examples using Exa search?▼

Use get_code_context_exa with a descriptive query like "Python asyncio patterns" and set tokensNum between 1000 and 50000. It returns code examples and documentation sourced from GitHub, Stack Overflow, and docs sites.

What API key does Exa MCP server require?▼

The Exa MCP server requires an EXA_API_KEY environment variable, obtained from exa.ai. Configure it in your MCP client settings alongside the npx exa-mcp-server command.

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.

When should I use crawling_exa instead of web search?▼

Use crawling_exa when you already have a specific URL and need its full page content extracted. Web search tools are better for discovering new sources, while crawling extracts content from known pages.
