`search`

Pack: exa · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/exa/mcp

Neural/semantic web search — find pages by meaning, not just keywords. Returns title, URL, published date, author, and relevance score. Optionally retrieve clean page text inline. Example: search({ query: “startups building AI agents for customer support”, num_results: 10, type: “neural” })

Parameters

Name	Type	Required	Description
`query`	string	yes	The search query — describe what you want by meaning, e.g. “recent research on protein folding with diffusion models”
`num_results`	number	no	Number of results to return (default 10, max 25)
`type`	string	no	Search mode: ‘neural’ (semantic/meaning-based), ‘keyword’ (traditional), or ‘auto’ (Exa picks). Default ‘auto’.
`include_text`	boolean	no	If true, include the clean parsed page text (up to 2000 chars) for each result. Default false.
`category`	string	no	Optional focus category, e.g. ‘company’, ‘research paper’, ‘news’, ‘pdf’, ‘github’, ‘tweet’.
`_apiKey`	string	no	Optional — your own Exa API key for higher limits; omit to use the shared Pipeworx key.
