[功能] 需要高质量外部搜索/调研时使用。触发条件:web_search 不可用或需要英文语义搜索、技术/商业调研、多源交叉验证。含 EXA REST/MCP 双路径调用法与渠道质量速查表。.

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

# EXA 高质量搜索

> 背景:当运行环境的内置 web_search 不可用或质量不足时,可用本 skill 的直调路径补位,效果等同插件接入。

## 1. 调用路径(按优先级)

### 路径 A:内置 web_search 工具
搜索插件接入后 `web_search` 自动走 Exa(provider 配置见 harness 设置)。先试它,能用就用。

### 路径 B:REST 直调(带 Key,额度高)
```powershell
$key = [Environment]::GetEnvironmentVariable('EXA_API_KEY','User')  # 或从 {AOS_ROOT}/04_MEMORY/credentials.json(utf-8-sig)读
$body = ConvertTo-Json @{query='...'; numResults=8}   # 可加 type/category/crawl 的 contents
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri 'https://api.exa.ai/search' -Method Post -ContentType 'application/json' -Headers @{'x-api-key'=$key} -Body $body
```

### 路径 C:匿名 MCP(零 Key 兜底,限流)
POST `https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp`(JSON-RPC 2.0,`tools/call web_search_exa`,Header `x-exa-source: <client>`,Accept 含 text/event-stream)。无凭证,429 时换路径 B。

## 2. 渠道质量速查(实测)

| 渠道 | 质量 | 备注 |
|---|---|---|
| EXA(英文查询) | 高 | 语义搜索;**CJK 查询大面积失效**(半数退化为问号/无关页)——中文题先转英文或拆关键词,再用 web_fetch 抓中文源直取 |
| web_fetch 直取 URL | 高 | 已知 URL 一律直取拿一手 |
| 本机实测(SQL/HEAD/API 探测) | 最高 | 能实测不搜索 |
| DuckDuckGo html 端点 | 中 | 引号精确查询会被反爬吞(返回空=可疑) |
| Bing 国内版 | 低 | 频繁返回无关结果,仅作最后手段 |

## 3. gotchas

- credentials.json 是 **UTF-8 带 BOM**:Python 读必须 `encoding='utf-8-sig'`,否则 JSON 解析失败被误诊为文件损坏(多环境共记坑)

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add magicalyuyu/agent-operating-system/exa-search@sha256:bb178d3a2f3862ae

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.e5b1ec6, 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.
