Paste into the AI you're chatting with — it will figure out the rest
Please install the `exa` MCP server into my current AI client (that's you).
Required prerequisites (do these first if not already done):
- **Exa API key** — Get an API key from the Exa dashboard (https://dashboard.exa.ai/api-keys)
Canonical MCP server config (HTTP transport):
- url: `https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp`
Note: Hosted remote MCP; npm package `exa-mcp-server` is also available via npx with EXA_API_KEY env var.
Add this MCP server to my current client's config in the correct format for you. If you need secrets or credentials I haven't provided, ASK me — do not invent values or leave raw placeholders. After adding it, tell me how to verify the server is connected.
Note: Hosted remote MCP; npm package `exa-mcp-server` is also available via npx with EXA_API_KEY env var.
