About this agent

Exa's official server built on its neural search engine. Agents can run web searches, find code examples and documentation, and fetch clean page contents for research. The hosted endpoint works without a key at rate-limited free levels, with OAuth or an API key for more. It is a popular default web-search tool for coding agents.
