Google Search Console
by search-console-mcp
Description
Exa's official MCP server connects AI assistants to a search engine purpose-built for AI, using neural embeddings to match on meaning rather than keywords so agents get clean, ready-to-use content instead of a page of blue links to re-parse. The default tool set covers web_search_exa for quick topical lookups and web_search_advanced_exa for full control over domains, date ranges, and content filters, plus specialized tools for code_search (searching real-world code and GitHub), company_research (building company profiles, competitor lists, and financials), crawling/web_fetch (pulling clean content from a specific URL), people_search and linkedin_search (public professional-profile lookups), and deep_researcher_start/check for long-running multi-step research tasks backed by Exa's Research API. The server is hosted at https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp — no local process to run — and connects via one-line setup in Cursor, VS Code, Claude Code, Claude Desktop (available as a native Connector), Codex, OpenCode, Windsurf, and Antigravity, authenticated with an EXA_API_KEY from the Exa dashboard. Tool exposure is tunable per client via a ?tools= query parameter on the endpoint URL, letting teams ship narrow, purpose-built configurations (e.g. company-research-only or LinkedIn-only agents) instead of exposing the full surface, and Exa ships ready-made Claude Skills/agent definitions for common patterns like company research and people search with built-in query-variation and token-isolation guidance.
