exa-search

exa-search is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Jamkris/everything-gemini-code. It costs 49 tokens per session (914 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of exa-search, MIT.

A neural search integration for finding web pages, code examples, company information, people, and technical references. Exa is the external search service it uses through an MCP server.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for web research, finding API documentation and code examples, researching companies or competitors, locating professional profiles, and supporting development investigations.
Why use it?
It helps developers gather relevant current information and code context when ordinary keyword searches are not enough. The exact tools and options should be checked because the service can change.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

exa-search scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 108 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Drift-prone skill. Exa MCP tool names, parameters, and account limits can change. Confirm the exposed tool surface and current Exa docs before relying on a specific search mode, category, or livecrawl behavior.

Neural search for web content, code, companies, and people via the Exa MCP server.

When to Use

  • User needs current web information or news
  • Searching for code examples, API docs, or technical references
  • Researching companies, competitors, or market players
  • Finding professional profiles or people in a domain
  • Running background research for any development task
  • User says "search for", "look up", "find", or "what's the latest on"

MCP Requirement

Exa MCP server must be configured. Add to ~/.gemini.json:

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

Get an API key at exa.ai. This repo's current Exa setup documents the tool surface exposed here: web_search_exa and get_code_context_exa. If your Exa server exposes additional tools, verify their exact names before depending on them in docs or prompts.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
