What you can do with Exa

Each of these is one operation on one endpoint, available both as a workflow step and as a tool an AI agent can call on its own. Nothing bundles several operations into one action, so what a run did stays readable afterwards.

Most endpoints run on the free plan. A few, mainly the ones that publish on your behalf, need a paid plan.

Search results, 3 operations

POSTfind_similar
Finds web pages that are semantically similar to a given URL.
POSTsearch
Performs semantic search across the web using AI embeddings for highly relevant results.
POSTsearch_and_contents
Searches the web and extracts content from results in a single API call.

Answer, 1 operation

POSTanswer
Gets a direct LLM-generated answer to a question, backed by Exa search results with citations.

Content, 1 operation

POSTget_contents
Extracts and processes content from specified URLs or search result IDs.

Use Exa from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex

Connect Exa in LiveContext, create an API key in Settings, then add the LiveContext MCP server to your client. Its Exa operations become tools the client can call, next to every other integration you connected.

Claude Code

claude mcp add --transport http livecontext https://livecontext.ai/mcp --header "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Codex (~/.codex/config.toml)

[mcp_servers.livecontext]
url = "https://livecontext.ai/mcp"

[mcp_servers.livecontext.http_headers]
"X-API-Key" = "YOUR_API_KEY"

Cursor, Claude Desktop and other JSON configs

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "livecontext": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://livecontext.ai/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "X-API-Key": "YOUR_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}
