Search Web using MCP Exa Search
🔎 MCP Server (Example for MCP Tools)
The Exa MCP Server is a working example of how to run an MCP server using the MCP Tools project — a Node-RED component that enables integration between AI agents and external services using the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
This example uses the Exa Search API to perform real-time web searches using both traditional search and embeddings, tailored for LLMs.
🧰 About MCP Tools
- A Node-RED-based system to visually orchestrate and run MCP servers
- Allows modular workflows for AI agents with access to external data
- Exa Search is one of the built-in examples, but you can adapt it to other APIs or services
