Hosted connector / remote server
Exa MCP
A hosted MCP connector that brings Exa web search, page fetching and authenticated research runs into compatible AI clients.
About this listing
Exa MCP connects an MCP-capable assistant to Exa's web search and page-fetching tools. The hosted service can search for relevant pages or retrieve clean content from known URLs, making it useful for assistants that need external information without a custom search integration.
Search and fetch can be tried without an account or API key under a free rate limit. OAuth or an API key lets requests use the user's Exa team and plan. The separate agent_run tool requires authentication and supports multi-step research, including structured results when an output schema is supplied. Agent runs are usage-based; the free search allowance does not make all research free.
Clients can opt into advanced search and choose the visible tools. An explicit tool list replaces the defaults, so configuration should include each tool the assistant needs. This listing covers Exa's hosted MCP connector rather than its local npm package.
