Exa Search MCP mcp
Web search built for agents: results as content rather than as a list of links to fetch.
Third-party software. Forgeprint hosts none of this code: it is an installation recipe for a project somebody else publishes and maintains. Review the permissions below before installing.

What it can reach
Sends your search query to Exa's service and returns page content.
It needs EXA_API_KEY. Create it at the upstream with the narrowest scope that works and put it in your environment — an agent never enters a secret for you.

Only agents whose command syntax has been verified are listed. A missing agent is one nobody has confirmed, not one that does not work.
