exa-search

Neural search via Exa MCP for web, code, and company research

exa-search is an agent skill from the ECC collection by affaan-m, listed on skills.sh. It runs neural search through the Exa MCP server to find web content, code examples, company information and people profiles. It is used when a user needs current web information or news, code examples or API references, research on companies, competitors or market players, professional profiles within a domain, or background research for a development task. Phrases such as search for, look up, find or what is the latest on should trigger it. The skill carries a warning that Exa's MCP tool names, parameters and account limits can change, so the agent should confirm the tools it has and Exa's current documentation before relying on a particular search mode, category or live-crawl behaviour. The Exa MCP server must be configured first. A skill is a SKILL.md file of instructions that an AI agent loads when a task calls for it. It is free and open source, and the skills.sh listing shows a Snyk warning.
