Frequently asked questions about the Exa MCP Server
Can I perform a meaning-based search instead of keywords via AI?
Yes! Use the search tool. Provide your query and enable useAutoprompt. Exa will use its neural embeddings to find links that match the intent of your question.
How do I find articles similar to a specific URL?
Use the find_similar tool. Provide the seed URL, and the agent will retrieve a list of pages that are semantically related to that content.
Is it possible to extract cleaned text from multiple pages via AI?
Absolutely. Use the get_contents query. Provide an array of URLs or Exa IDs, and the agent will return the cleaned text content and metadata for each page.
