Exa MCP server

By the Flori team · Published 2026-10-29 · Updated 2026-10-29

Short answer: Yes. Exa has an official MCP server: ai.exa/exa, published in the official MCP Registry under the verified exa.ai domain and hosted at https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp.

This page covers the official server for Exa, the listed connection options, and what to check before using Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor. Registry entries checked in October 2026.

What can you do with the Exa MCP server?

Exa's official server is hosted at mcp.exa.ai and gives assistants web search, content fetching and multi-step research through Exa's search engine.

• Find companies or articles matching a detailed description.
• Fetch the full text of pages for a research summary.
• Run a multi-step research task with sources.

Is there an official Exa MCP server?

Yes. The MCP Registry only lets a publisher use a namespace it has proved it controls, through the vendor's domain or its GitHub organisation. This entry is published under Exa's own namespace: ai.exa/exa.

What should you check before connecting Exa?

• Usage counts against your Exa plan.
• Check sources before reusing facts in client work.

How do I connect the Exa MCP server to Claude?

The registry lists a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp. Check the publisher's authentication and client requirements, then add the endpoint as a custom connector in Claude and complete any sign-in it requires.

In Claude Code, run:

claude mcp add --transport http exa https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp

Does the Exa MCP server work with ChatGPT?

A hosted endpoint is available at https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp. ChatGPT needs a compatible remote transport and authentication flow, and your account or workspace must allow custom MCP connections. Confirm those requirements with the publisher before connecting.

How do I add it to Cursor?

Start with this remote endpoint in .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for every project. Add any authentication fields required by the publisher:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "exa": {
      "url": "https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Keep what your assistant does in one place
