- Find Similar — Provide any URL and discover web pages with similar content. Perfect for competitive analysis, research expansion, and content discovery
- Extract Contents — Get clean text, highlights, and summaries from any list of URLs. Ideal for building knowledge bases from curated sources
How it works

Frequently asked questions
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.
How does the Vercel AI SDK connect to MCP servers?
Import createMCPClient from @ai-sdk/mcp and pass the server URL. The SDK discovers all tools and provides typed TypeScript interfaces for each one.
Can I use MCP tools in Edge Functions?
Yes. The AI SDK is fully edge-compatible. MCP connections work on Vercel Edge Functions, Cloudflare Workers, and similar runtimes.
Does it support streaming tool results?
Yes. The SDK provides streaming primitives like useChat and streamText that handle tool calls and display results progressively in the UI.
