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 query
  • numResults (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 query
  • tokensNum (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 name
  • numResults (optional, default: 5)

Advanced Tools (Optional)

Six additional tools available by updating config URL:

  • web_search_advanced_exa - Domain/date filters
  • deep_search_exa - Query expansion
  • crawling_exa - Full page extraction
  • people_search_exa - Professional profiles
  • deep_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

Resources

Usage Guidance
This skill is coherent: it calls Exa's MCP through the mcporter CLI. Before installing or using it, confirm you trust the mcporter binary and the Exa MCP endpoint (https://mcp.exa.ai). Be aware that any queries you send (including code, company names, or prompts) will be transmitted to that external service and the mcporter config command will add a persistent entry to your mcporter config. Also note a minor metadata mismatch in the packaged files (different slug/version/ownerId than registry metadata) — you may want to verify the publisher or prefer an official release (GitHub/npm links are provided) before proceeding. Avoid sending secrets or sensitive internal documents to the skill until you are confident in the service's privacy/security posture.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: exa-web-search-v2 Version: 1.0.0 The skill bundle provides a legitimate interface for Exa AI's search services using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) via the 'mcporter' utility. All commands and URLs (e.g., https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp) are consistent with official Exa documentation, and there is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or prompt injection in SKILL.md or references/examples.md.
Capability Assessment
✓ Purpose & Capability
The skill is an instruction-only wrapper for calling Exa MCP via the mcporter binary. Requiring mcporter is expected given the documented mcporter call commands and the skill's search purpose.
ℹ Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only instructs the agent to run mcporter commands (list, config add, call). These commands will add a persistent mcporter config entry and send query text to the external endpoint (https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp). There are no instructions to read arbitrary local files or other credentials, but user queries (possibly containing sensitive info) will be transmitted to a third-party service.
✓ Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files; the skill expects an existing mcporter binary. This is low-risk from an installer perspective, but the binary itself (mcporter) is an external dependency you must trust.
✓ Credentials
The skill does not request environment variables, credentials, or config paths. That is proportionate to its stated purpose. However, mcporter config changes are required to register the MCP endpoint.
ℹ Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true and is user-invocable only. It does instruct adding a persistent mcporter config entry (mcporter config add), which modifies the user's mcporter configuration but not platform-wide settings or other skills.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install exa-web-search-v2
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /exa-web-search-v2
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
