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.
