    General guidance from repository metadata, not legal advice. How we score

    From the README

    Vibe coding should never have a bad vibe. exa-code is a huge step towards coding agents that never hallucinate.

    When your coding agent makes a search query, exa-code searches over billions of Github repos, docs pages, Stackoverflow posts, and more, to find the perfect, token-efficient context that the agent needs to code correctly. It's powered by the Exa search engine.

    Examples of queries you can make with exa-code:

    ✨ Works with Cursor and Claude Code! Use the HTTP-based configuration format:

    You may include your exa api key in the url like this:

    You may whitelist specific tools in the url with the enabledTools parameter which expects a url encoded array strings like this:

    You can also use exa-code through Smithery without an Exa API key.

    A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that connects AI assistants like Claude to Exa AI's search capabilities, including web search, research tools, and our new code search feature.

    Connect directly to Exa's hosted MCP server (instead of running it locally).
