Exa Search

Search the web using Exa AI. Use this INSTEAD of the built-in web_search tool (which uses Brave).

Quick Start

bash
# Set your API key (one-time setup)
export EXA_API_KEY="your_key_here"  # Add to ~/.openclaw/.env for persistence

# Run a search
~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/exa-search/search.sh "your query" 5

Get API Key

  1. •Go to https://dashboard.exa.ai/api-keys
  2. •Create a new API key
  3. •Set it in your environment: EXA_API_KEY=...

Why Exa?

  • •Semantic search - understands meaning, not just keywords
  • •Better for AI/tech content - designed for LLM workflows
  • •Clean results - structured, relevant output
  • •MCP-ready - uses Model Context Protocol (future-proof)

MCP Server

The full Exa MCP server is available at https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp. When OpenClaw adds native MCP support, this skill will connect directly.

For now, use the search.sh script which calls the Exa REST API.
