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.

Upstream

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.

Install

Claude Code

claude mcp add-json exa '{"command":"npx","args":["-y","exa-mcp-server@3.4.1"],"env":{"EXA_API_KEY":"${EXA_API_KEY}"}}'

Codex CLI

codex mcp add exa --env EXA_API_KEY=$EXA_API_KEY -- npx -y exa-mcp-server@3.4.1

Gemini CLI

gemini mcp add exa -e 'EXA_API_KEY=${EXA_API_KEY}' npx -y exa-mcp-server@3.4.1

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