Neural web search, code context, and page crawling through the Exa API.
The publisher's own server: DeepSearch
Local MCP server that gives an assistant Exa-powered neural web search, code context packs, and full-page crawling.
Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.
Follow the launch instructions in the repository.
deepsearch asks Exa's neural index questions the way a researcher would. A plain search returns the pages that best match the meaning of a query, with their text already pulled in. A code question gets a context pack instead: examples and documentation excerpts gathered from across the web and sized to a token budget you choose. And when you already know the page you want, a crawl fetches that one page and hands back its words. It runs from the command line or as an MCP server for agents.
An Exa API key is required. Put it in the EXA_API_KEY environment
variable; the key is sent to the API as the x-api-key header and
never appears in output. When the variable is missing, every operation
fails with an error that names it.
Or run the container image:
The container defaults to the MCP server (see below). Pass CLI arguments to use it as a CLI instead.
Exit codes: 0 on success, 1 when an operation fails (including a
missing EXA_API_KEY or an API error), 2 for usage errors.
One bin serves both faces. The mcp subcommand starts a stdio MCP
server:
MCP client configuration:
These are the original server's default-enabled tools:
Token budgets are clamped to the documented 1000–50000 range and are applied at roughly four characters per token. An empty result set is reported as such; a page the API cannot fetch, a missing key, or a failed API call is reported as a tool error.

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.
Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.
