Exa MCP Server

What it does

Exa’s MCP server gives AI assistants web search, page content retrieval and research tools.

Get started

Follow the server README for its supported transport, installation, credentials and client configuration. Compatibility depends on the client and server transport; no individual client has been runtime-tested by this directory.

Open setup guide

Setup takes place on the publisher’s site. Some tools require accounts, API keys, a compatible host or paid services. Review permissions before connecting.

Connect with Cursor

Requirements

Cursor with remote MCP support. The hosted server permits rate-limited anonymous access; higher limits and Exa Agent require Exa OAuth or an API key. Service costs and quotas are not verified by this directory.

Open the publisher README and use its Install in Cursor button for the hosted MCP endpoint. The Installation section also documents the endpoint and manual client configuration; follow Authentication if you need higher limits or Exa Agent.

Publisher supplies a Cursor installation button for its hosted MCP endpoint. This is an MCP connection, separate from the Claude or other agent plugin options.
