Use the Exa MCP server for internet search and full-page retrieval. Use whenever the user asks to search, browse, look up, verify, research, find sources, find current or latest online information, discover papers or repositories, compare web sources, or read and summarize a URL whose content was not provided. Prefer Exa by default for general web research. Do not use it for local filesystem or codebase search, or when the user explicitly requests a different tool or a specialized connected source is the direct system of record.
