Q&A

Are there any usage limits or restrictions I should be aware of?

Access is gated by your Exa API key, and the documentation does not detail specific rate limits, so limits depend on the plan tied to your key. Configuration steps differ across platforms, so you may need to adjust settings per client.

Asked by Qiu Yan · May 13, 2026

What types of search can I perform through the MCP server?

The server provides three main search capabilities: general web search, code‑base search, and company‑specific research. Your AI model can request any of these via the MCP protocol and receive relevant pages or data back.

What do I need to start using Exa MCP Server with my AI client?

You need an Exa API key and a configuration file (or command) that points to the hosted MCP endpoint https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp. The exact config format varies by client (e.g., Cursor, VS Code, Claude), but each only requires adding the server URL and your API key.
