# Exa Search
> **Drift-prone skill.** Exa MCP tool names, parameters, and account limits can
> change. Confirm the exposed tool surface and current Exa docs before relying
> on a specific search mode, category, or livecrawl behavior.
Neural search for web content, code, companies, and people via the Exa MCP server.
## When to Activate
- User needs current web information or news
- Searching for code examples, API docs, or technical references
- Researching companies, competitors, or market players
- Finding professional profiles or people in a domain
- Running background research for any development task
- User says "search for", "look up", "find", or "what's the latest on"
## MCP Requirement
Exa MCP server must be configured. Add to `~/.claude.json`:
```json
"exa-web-search": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "exa-mcp-server"],
"env": { "EXA_API_KEY": "YOUR_EXA_API_KEY_HERE" }
}
```
Get an API key at [exa.ai](https://exa.ai).
This repo's current Exa setup documents the tool surface exposed here: `web_search_exa` and `get_code_context_exa`.
If your Exa server exposes additional tools, verify their exact names before depending on them in docs or prompts.
