Produce thorough, cited research reports from multiple web sources using firecrawl and exa MCP tools.
When to Activate
- User asks to research any topic in depth
- Competitive analysis, technology evaluation, or market sizing
- Due diligence on companies, investors, or technologies
- Any question requiring synthesis from multiple sources
- User says "research", "deep dive", "investigate", or "what's the current state of"
MCP Requirements
At least one of:
- firecrawl — firecrawl_search, firecrawl_scrape, firecrawl_crawl
- exa — web_search_exa, web_search_advanced_exa, crawling_exa

exa-search connects to Exa's MCP endpoint for live web queries, code documentation lookup, and full-page retrieval. Use the simple search tool for basic queries or the advanced variant for filtered results by date, domain, category, or content. Fetch complete pages when search highlights aren't enough.
Exa Web Search (Free) provides neural search across the web, code repositories, and company profiles without API authentication. Query current news and information, discover code examples from GitHub and Stack Overflow, or gather business intelligence on companies using three core search tools.
Deep Research breaks down complex queries into atomic sub-questions, then systematically crawls multiple sources, extracts verifiable claims, and resolves contradictions. The skill delivers structured reports with confidence scoring, source attribution, and explicit gap flagging—ensuring every finding is traceable and conflicts are surfaced rather than hidden.
Search Tips provides practical guidance for conducting thorough web research using Exa's semantic search engine, Firecrawl CLI for content extraction, and Reddit MCP tools. It covers the research cycle of searching for sources and fetching their content, query reformulation techniques for better results, domain filtering, and content-type-specific strategies. The skill includes troubleshooting for common scraping issues and operational patterns for efficient multi-source investigation.
Web Research provides access to neural search and web scraping through x402-protected endpoints, combining Exa's semantic capabilities with Firecrawl's extraction power. Use it for deep investigations, finding similar content, extracting clean text from blocked sites, and crawling multiple pages—each with transparent per-task pricing starting at $0.002.
web-search-exa provides neural search powered by embeddings to discover relevant web content, extract full page text, and synthesize findings. Query the web intelligently across multiple search modes, filter by domain or date, and get LLM-generated answers informed by live search results.
