web-search-exa
Neural web search, content extraction, company and people research, code search, and deep research via the Exa MCP server. Use when you need to: (1) search the web with semantic understanding — not just keywords, (2) find research papers, news, tweets, companies, or people, (3) extract clean content from URLs, (4) find semantically similar pages to a known URL, (5) get code examples and documentation, (6) run deep multi-step research with a report, (7) get a quick synthesized answer with citations. NOT for: local file operations, non-web tasks, or anything that doesn't involve web search or content retrieval.
