Frequently asked questions about the Exa MCP Server

How is Exa different from Google Search?

Exa uses neural embedding models to understand the meaning of your query, not just keywords. When you search 'startups building AI infrastructure', Google returns pages containing those exact words. Exa returns companies that match that concept — even if their pages use completely different terminology. It also provides specialized search indexes for people, companies, code, and academic papers.

What does the free tier include?

Exa's free tier includes 1,000 searches per month with content extraction included for up to 10 results per search at no additional cost. No credit card required. For higher volumes, paid plans offer increased quotas and priority support.

Can I filter results by domain, date, or category?

Yes! Exa supports powerful filtering options: include/exclude specific domains, filter by publication date range, search within specific categories (news, blog, academic, etc.), and even use domain path filtering to search within specific sections of a website.
