Call Exa Search (POST /search) for semantic web retrieval with ranked results, filters, freshness, highlights/text, structured output, or streaming. Use when the agent needs open-ended web search, competitor discovery, news, people, or research papers and does not already have URLs. Prefer Exa MCP web_search_exa / web_search_advanced_exa when available; otherwise raw HTTP with EXA_API_KEY. NOT for known-URL extraction (use exa-contents or firecrawl) or multi-step list-building…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

## On Activation

1. Read `brand/positioning.md`, `brand/competitors.md`, and `brand/landscape.md` if present. Use them to sharpen queries and exclusions. All optional - works at zero brand context.
2. Confirm Exa auth: Exa MCP connected, or `EXA_API_KEY` set (`mktg doctor --json --fields integrations`). If neither, stop and surface: get a key at https://dashboard.exa.ai/api-keys then `export EXA_API_KEY=...`.
3. Prefer MCP tools when present; otherwise use the cURL examples below.
4. After discovery, chain `firecrawl` or `exa-contents` only when a known URL needs deeper extraction.

# Exa Search

> Requires API key: Get one at https://dashboard.exa.ai/api-keys
>
> Header: `x-api-key: $EXA_API_KEY`

Use `POST https://api.exa.ai/search` for semantic web retrieval, ranked results, and optional result-level extraction in one raw HTTP call. Start with `type: "auto"` for general retrieval. Add `contents` only when the caller needs page text, highlights, summaries, freshness-controlled crawling, subpages, or extracted links.

## Quick Start (cURL)

### Basic search

```bash
curl -sS -X POST "https://api.exa.ai/search" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add moizibnyousaf/marketing-cli/exa-search@sha256:87ee974b72485273

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
