Exa Search
Exa Search brings neural semantic search to Claude Code, letting you find web content by concept and meaning rather than exact keywords. Use it for research across multiple perspectives, discovering similar content, or extracting code context from the web. Falls back gracefully to keyword search when semantic matching doesn't fit the task.

Frequently asked questions
AI-generated answers based on this skill's SKILL.md and metadata
How do I use Exa Search to search the web with Claude?
Exa Search integrates web search capability directly into Claude Code agents. You can query live web data and retrieve search results programmatically by calling Exa's API within your Claude workflows. This enables real-time internet search within agent applications, allowing you to find web content by concept and meaning rather than exact keywords.
What makes Exa Search different from keyword-based search?
Exa Search uses neural semantic search to find content by concept and meaning rather than exact keywords. This approach is especially useful for research across multiple perspectives and discovering similar content. When semantic matching doesn't fit your task, Exa Search falls back gracefully to keyword search to ensure you get relevant results.
Can Exa Search for Claude agents extract code context from the web?
Yes, Exa Search supports extracting code context from the web as one of its key use cases. Beyond code lookup, Exa Search helps you add external information lookup to Claude-based applications, enabling agents to access and integrate real-time web data into their workflows and decision-making processes.
How do I integrate Exa Search into my Claude application?
Exa Search integrates with Claude Code through its API, allowing you to add web search capability to your agent workflows. By calling Exa's search functions within your Claude code, you enable real-time internet search and programmatic retrieval of search results, giving your application access to live web data on demand.
What are the main use cases for Exa web search?
Exa Search supports research across multiple perspectives, discovering similar content through semantic understanding, and extracting code context from the web. It's designed to help Claude-based applications find and integrate external information, making it ideal for agents that need to access current web data or explore topics conceptually rather than through simple keyword matching.
