README (SKILL.md)
Exa Web Search (Free)
Neural search for web, code, and company research. No API key required.
Setup
Verify mcporter is configured:
mcporter list exa
If not listed:
mcporter config add exa https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp
Core Tools
web_search_exa
Search web for current info, news, or facts.
mcporter call 'exa.web_search_exa(query: "latest AI news 2026", numResults: 5)'
Parameters:
query- Search querynumResults(optional, default: 8)type(optional) -"auto","fast", or"deep"
get_code_context_exa
Find code examples and docs from GitHub, Stack Overflow.
mcporter call 'exa.get_code_context_exa(query: "React hooks examples", tokensNum: 3000)'
Parameters:
query- Code/API search querytokensNum(optional, default: 5000) - Range: 1000-50000
company_research_exa
Research companies for business info and news.
mcporter call 'exa.company_research_exa(companyName: "Anthropic", numResults: 3)'
Parameters:
companyName- Company namenumResults(optional, default: 5)
Advanced Tools (Optional)
Six additional tools available by updating config URL:
web_search_advanced_exa- Domain/date filtersdeep_search_exa- Query expansioncrawling_exa- Full page extractionpeople_search_exa- Professional profilesdeep_researcher_start/check- AI research agent
Enable all tools:
mcporter config add exa-full "https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp?tools=web_search_exa,web_search_advanced_exa,get_code_context_exa,deep_search_exa,crawling_exa,company_research_exa,people_search_exa,deep_researcher_start,deep_researcher_check"
# Then use:
mcporter call 'exa-full.deep_search_exa(query: "AI safety research")'
Tips
- Web: Use
type: "fast"for quick lookup,"deep"for thorough research - Code: Lower
tokensNum(1000-2000) for focused, higher (5000+) for comprehensive - See examples.md for more patterns

Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and implements exactly what it claims: it issues mcporter CLI calls to Exa's MCP endpoint. Before installing or using it, verify the mcporter binary you have (origin, checksum, and trustworthiness) and confirm you trust the external endpoint (https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp). Do not include secrets or sensitive internal data in queries, and be aware that optional tools like people_search_exa or crawling_exa can retrieve or surface personal/professional profile data. If you cannot verify mcporter, test the skill in an isolated environment or sandbox first.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: d-va-exa-web-search-free
Version: 1.0.0
The skill provides a legitimate interface for Exa AI search services using the 'mcporter' tool. It includes standard setup instructions and tool definitions for web, code, and company research, all pointing to official Exa AI endpoints (mcp.exa.ai). No evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection was found in SKILL.md or _meta.json.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description ask for web/code/company search and the SKILL.md only requires the mcporter binary and shows mcporter calls to exa.web_search_exa, get_code_context_exa, company_research_exa etc. The requested binary and commands are appropriate and proportionate to the stated purpose.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are narrowly scoped to configuring and calling mcporter against the exa MCP URL. They do not instruct the agent to read local files, environment variables, or other system state. Note: all queries are sent to an external service (https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp), so any query text (including sensitive info) will be transmitted off-host.
Install Mechanism
This is an instruction-only skill with no install spec or code files. That reduces risk because nothing is written by the skill itself. However, the skill depends on an external CLI (mcporter) which the user must install separately; the skill does not provide an install origin or verification for that binary.
Credentials
No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The absence of secrets is appropriate for a read-only search integration. Advanced tools (people_search, crawling, deep researcher) are optional but consistent with the stated research capabilities.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not always:true and does not request elevated/persistent privileges or attempt to modify other skills or system-wide configuration. It relies on user-invoked mcporter commands and normal agent invocation behavior.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install d-va-exa-web-search-free - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/d-va-exa-web-search-free - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
