Frequently asked questions about the Exa AI MCP Server
How do I find my Exa AI API Key?
Log in to your Exa AI dashboard, and copy your unique API Key from the settings section.
What makes semantic search different?
Traditional search uses keywords. Semantic search uses neural embeddings to understand the meaning and context of your query, finding better matches.
Can I extract text from multiple URLs at once?
Yes! The extract_page_content tool accepts a JSON array of URLs and retrieves the parsed content for all of them programmatically.
