Description: Tools that enable LLMs to interact directly with the Exa.ai Search API.

Author: Arcade

Auth: API Key

ExaApi is a Starter MCP Server: each tool mirrors one HTTP endpoint and offers LLMs a way to interact with the low-level API.

Differently from Optimized MCP Servers, Starter tools are heavily influenced by the original API design, which is not usually optimized for LLM usage. For this reason, we recommend thoroughly evaluating the tools with your Agents or chatbots before using it in production. Read more about Optimized vs Starter tools.

The ExaApi MCP Server offers a comprehensive suite of tools for conducting searches, managing websets, and handling research requests.
