Description

The Exa MCP Server integrates Exa AI's search capabilities into the Model Context Protocol so agents can run live web searches, crawl pages, and retrieve structured results (titles, URLs, snippets, and extracted content). It provides configurable tools for web search, research paper search, Twitter/X search, LinkedIn/company research, competitor discovery, and direct URL crawling, with caching and rate-limit handling. The server is designed for easy integration with Claude Desktop (via a config file) and can be run directly with npx or tested with the MCP Inspector for development and debugging.
