What is the Exa AI MCP Server?

Connect your Exa AI (formerly Metaphor) account to any AI agent and take full control of your web research and data extraction workflows through natural conversation.

What you can do

Semantic Search Orchestration — Perform AI-native searches that understand intent and meaning to retrieve the most relevant web pages programmatically
Content Intelligence — Programmatically extract clean, parsed text or highlights from any URL, excluding ads and boilerplate automatically
Similarity Discovery — Find pages semantically similar to a source URL to build comprehensive and high-fidelity research datasets
Deep Data Mapping — Discover all reachable links on a domain and retrieve discovery metadata to understand site structures programmatically
Search Filtering — Restricted searches by domain, category (company, blog, news), or discovery date directly through your agent

How it works

Subscribe to this server
Retrieve your API Key from the Exa AI dashboard (Settings > API Keys)
Start searching the web semantically from Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client

No more manual keyword-based searching or messy scraping scripts. Your AI acts as your dedicated neural research assistant.

Who is this for?

AI Developers — build RAG pipelines by programmatically ingesting semantically relevant web data using natural language
Market Researchers — instantly identify competitors and find similar companies across the web using semantic discovery
Content Analysts — automate the extraction of highlights and clean text from technical blogs and news without leaving your workspace

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I find my Exa AI API Key?

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.

How does the OpenAI Agents SDK connect to MCP?

Use MCPServerSse(url=...) to create a server connection. The SDK auto-discovers all tools and makes them available to your agent with full type information.

Can I use multiple MCP servers in one agent?

Yes. Pass a list of MCPServerSse instances to the agent constructor. The agent can use tools from all connected servers within a single run.

Does the SDK support streaming responses?

Yes. The SDK supports SSE and Streamable HTTP transports, both of which work natively with Vinkius.
