About
Exa's MCP server adds neural/semantic search to Claude Code. Unlike keyword-based search, Exa understands meaning - find similar documents, research topics in depth, and discover relevant content across the web. Supports filtering by domain, date, and content type. Excellent for research tasks where traditional search falls short.
