View guide →Exa's MCP server for web search and crawling — give your AI agent a live, high-quality web index.
exa-mcp-server is an open-source ai agents project by exa-labs (exa-labs/exa-mcp-server on GitHub). It has 5,095 GitHub stars and 403 forks, is released under the MIT license, and was last updated on GitHub on 7 October 2026.
Decide whether your agent needs general web search, page crawling, code search, or a mix.
Create an Exa account to obtain an API key for authenticated use of the hosted MCP server.
Install the agent plugin or add the https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp endpoint to your MCP client's configuration.
Ask your agent a current-events or documentation question and let it call Exa's tools.
No local install to maintain: connect any MCP client to https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp and start searching.
Exa's search over its web index is exposed as MCP tools, tuned for AI agents rather than human browsing.
Fetch and crawl page content through Exa so agents can read sources, not just see snippets.
Extra tools beyond the defaults can be enabled via the tools parameter, including code-search-oriented tools.
Documented setup for Claude (including the official plugin), Codex/ChatGPT, Kiro, LM Studio, Replit, Grok Build and generic MCP clients.
Ships agent skills that teach your agent how to use Exa's tools effectively.
Clone the Exa MCP Server repo for the source and client configuration examples.
git clone https://github.com/exa-labs/exa-mcp-server.git
cd exa-mcp-serverRegister Exa's hosted MCP endpoint with your client — for Codex, use its mcp add command; other clients take the same URL in their MCP config.
codex mcp add exa --url https://mcp.exa.ai/mcpIn Claude, install Exa from the official plugin directory instead of editing config by hand.
claude plugin install exa@claude-plugins-officialIt is maintained by exa-labs, the team behind the Exa search API.
The server code is MIT licensed and the hosted endpoint can be tried via Exa; ongoing usage runs on your Exa account, which has its own pricing — check exa.ai for current plans.
Authenticated use of Exa's hosted MCP requires an Exa API key; Exa offers account tiers — see the Authentication section of the README for your options.
Exa is a hosted, professionally indexed search backend you call remotely; wigolo runs a local-first engine on your machine. Choose hosted Exa for managed scale, local tools for $0-per-query self-hosting.
Add https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp to your MCP client (or install the Claude plugin) and authenticate with your Exa key.
