An open-source MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects AI assistants and agents to Exa's web search, code search, content fetching, and multi-step research tools. It is available as a hosted endpoint (mcp.exa.ai/mcp) or self-hosted, with one-click installs for Cursor, VS Code, Claude, ChatGPT/Codex, and other MCP clients.
Use cases
- give my AI agent live web search
- connect Claude Desktop to web search
- search the web from Cursor or VS Code
- fetch page contents for LLM research
- multi-step web research for AI agents
- code search across the web for coding assistants
- add an MCP search tool to my chatbot
When to choose
- you use an MCP-compatible assistant (Claude, Cursor, VS Code, Codex) and want web search or crawling tools
- you want a hosted, zero-setup search MCP endpoint
- you need content fetching and multi-step research tools for agents
When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose search API outside of AI agent workflows (use the Exa SDKs directly)
- you require fully offline or self-contained search with no external API dependency
- your client does not support the Model Context Protocol
