AI-Powered Web Research

exa-cli brings the power of Exa’s AI search to your terminal:

  • Semantic search: Find relevant content, not just keyword matches
  • Web crawling: Extract content from pages automatically
  • Research summaries: Get AI-generated summaries of findings
  • Export options: Save results as text, JSON, or Markdown
  • MCP integration: Works with Claude and other MCP clients

Why Exa?

Exa uses embeddings to understand content meaning, not just text matching. This means:

  • Better relevance
  • Conceptual search
  • Understanding context
  • Finding things you’d miss with traditional search

Use Cases

  • Research for blog posts
  • Competitive analysis
  • Finding code examples
  • Staying updated on technologies
  • Academic research
