What it does
Exa Search is an agent skill from affaan-m/ECC. 通过Exa MCP进行神经搜索，适用于网络、代码和公司研究。当用户需要网络搜索、代码示例、公司情报、人员查找，或使用Exa神经搜索引擎进行AI驱动的深度研究时使用。
Its SKILL.md is about 540 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 2d515e4. 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 544 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 115 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 搜索
通过 Exa MCP 服务器实现网页内容、代码、公司和人物的神经搜索。
何时激活
- 用户需要当前网页信息或新闻
- 搜索代码示例、API 文档或技术参考资料
- 研究公司、竞争对手或市场参与者
- 查找特定领域的专业资料或人物
- 为任何开发任务进行背景调研
- 用户提到“搜索”、“查找”、“寻找”或“关于……的最新消息是什么”
MCP 要求
必须配置 Exa MCP 服务器。添加到 ~/.claude.json：
"exa-web-search": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "exa-mcp-server"],
"env": { "EXA_API_KEY": "YOUR_EXA_API_KEY_HERE" }
}在 exa.ai 获取 API 密钥。
此仓库当前的 Exa 设置记录了此处公开的工具接口：web_search_exa 和 get_code_context_exa。
如果你的 Exa 服务器公开了其他工具，请在文档或提示中依赖它们之前，先核实其确切名称。
核心工具
web_search_exa
用于当前信息、新闻或事实的通用网页搜索。
web_search_exa(query: "2026年最新人工智能发展", numResults: 5)参数：
| 参数 | 类型 | 默认值 | 说明 |
|---|---|---|---|
query | 字符串 | 必填 | 搜索查询 |
numResults | 数字 | 8 | 结果数量 |
type | 字符串 | auto | 搜索模式 |
livecrawl | 字符串 | fallback | 需要时优先使用实时爬取 |
category | 字符串 | 无 | 可选焦点，例如 company 或 research paper |
get_code_context_exa
从 GitHub、Stack Overflow 和文档站点查找代码示例和文档。
get_code_context_exa(query: "Python asyncio patterns", tokensNum: 3000)参数：
| 参数 | 类型 | 默认值 | 说明 |
|---|---|---|---|
query | string | 必需 | 代码或 API 搜索查询 |
tokensNum | number | 5000 | 内容令牌数（1000-50000） |
使用模式
快速查找
web_search_exa(query: "Node.js 22 新功能", numResults: 3)代码研究
get_code_context_exa(query: "Rust错误处理模式Result类型", tokensNum: 3000)公司或人物研究
web_search_exa(query: "Vercel 2026年融资估值", numResults: 3, category: "company")
web_search_exa(query: "site:linkedin.com/in Anthropic AI安全研究员", numResults: 5)技术深度研究
web_search_exa(query: "WebAssembly 组件模型状态与采用情况", numResults: 5)
get_code_context_exa(query: "WebAssembly 组件模型示例", tokensNum: 4000)提示
- 使用
web_search_exa获取最新信息、公司查询和广泛发现 - 使用
site:、引号内的短语和intitle:等搜索运算符来缩小结果范围 - 对于聚焦的代码片段，使用较低的
tokensNum(1000-2000)；对于全面的上下文，使用较高的值 (5000+) - 当你需要 API 用法或代码示例而非通用网页时，使用
get_code_context_exa
