Neural search via Exa MCP for web, code, and company research. Use when the user needs web search, code examples, company intel, people lookup, or AI-powered deep research with Exa's neural search engine.
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 Search
Neural search for web content, code, companies, and people via the Exa MCP server.
## When to Activate
- User needs current web information or news
- Searching for code examples, API docs, or technical references
- Researching companies, competitors, or market players
- Finding professional profiles or people in a domain
- Running background research for any development task
- User says "search for", "look up", "find", or "what's the latest on"
## MCP Requirement
Exa MCP server must be configured. Add to `~/.claude.json`:
```json
"exa-web-search": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "exa-mcp-server"],
"env": { "EXA_API_KEY": "YOUR_EXA_API_KEY_HERE" }
}
```
Get an API key at [exa.ai](https://exa.ai).
This repo's current Exa setup documents the tool surface exposed here: `web_search_exa` and `get_code_context_exa`.
If your Exa server exposes additional tools, verify their exact names before depending on them in docs or prompts.
## Core Tools
### web_search_exa
General web search for current information, news, or facts.
```
web_search_exa(query: "latest AI developments 2026", numResults: 5)
```

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260512.6523792, 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.
