What it does

Exa Search is an agent skill from affaan-m/ECC. Exa MCPによるウェブ、コード、企業調査のためのニューラル検索。ユーザーがウェブ検索、コード例、企業情報、人物検索、またはExaのニューラル検索エンジンを使ったAI駆動の詳細調査を必要とする場合に使用します。

Its SKILL.md is about 680 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Web search. It works with Exa and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: The agent harness performance optimization system. Skills, instincts, memory, security, and research-first development for Claude Code, Codex, Opencode, Cursor and beyond. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Web search

Example prompts

  • “/exa-search”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • A credential in EXA_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4eb71d9. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are json).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • exa.ai

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • EXA_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Exa Search loads about 675 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 29 tokens; SKILL.md has 91 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~29
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~675

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Exa検索

変化が早いスキル。 Exa MCPのツール名、パラメーター、アカウント制限は変更される可能性があります。特定の検索モード、カテゴリー、またはライブクロール動作に依存する前に、公開されているツール一覧と最新のExaドキュメントを確認してください。

Exa MCPサーバーを通じたウェブコンテンツ、コード、企業、人物のニューラル検索。

アクティベートするタイミング

  • ユーザーが最新のウェブ情報やニュースを必要としている場合
  • コード例、APIドキュメント、または技術的な参考資料を検索する場合
  • 企業、競合他社、または市場プレイヤーを調査する場合
  • あるドメインの専門家プロフィールや人物を検索する場合
  • 開発タスクのバックグラウンドリサーチを行う場合
  • ユーザーが「search for」「look up」「find」「what's the latest on」と言う場合

MCP要件

Exa MCPサーバーを設定する必要があります。~/.claude.jsonに追加してください:

json
"exa-web-search": {
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "exa-mcp-server"],
  "env": { "EXA_API_KEY": "YOUR_EXA_API_KEY_HERE" }
}

APIキーはexa.aiで取得してください。 このリポジトリの現在のExa設定は、公開されているツール一覧を文書化しています: web_search_exa と get_code_context_exa。 Exaサーバーが追加のツールを公開している場合は、ドキュメントやプロンプトで依存する前に正確な名前を確認してください。

ヒント

  • 最新情報、企業検索、幅広い発見にはweb_search_exaを使用する
  • site:、引用フレーズ、intitle:などの検索オペレーターを使用して結果を絞り込む
  • 絞り込まれたコードスニペットには低いtokensNum(1000-2000)、包括的なコンテキストには高い値(5000+)を使用する
  • 一般的なウェブページではなくAPIの使用方法やコード例が必要な場合はget_code_context_exaを使用する
