ALL web access via Exa MCP only. NEVER use WebSearch, WebFetch, or Context7.
Tools: mcp__exa__web_search_exa, mcp__exa__get_code_context_exa, mcp__exa__crawling_exa, mcp__exa__web_search_advanced_exa.
</critical>
Modes (mutually exclusive):
- (none): quick search, single pass,
web_search_exa --deep: multi-pass deep research with gap-driven iteration (3-5 sub-queries, max 3 passes)--code: code examples, API docs, library usage viaget_code_context_exa--docs <lib>: crawl official documentation for a specific library--debug: paste error message, find solutions (Stack Overflow, GitHub issues)--news: recent news, category:news filter--compare: compare 2+ options side by side via parallel queries--research: academic papers, category:research paper--similar <url>: find pages similar to a given URL
Filters:
--after <date>: results published after date (ISO 8601 or natural: "last week")--before <date>: results published before date--domain <d>: restrict to domain(s), comma-separated--exclude <d>: exclude domain(s)--fresh: force live crawl (maxAgeHours=0)--locale <CC>: country code for localized results-n <num>: number of results (default: 5, max: 20)
Output:
--save <file>: save report to markdown file--json: structured JSON output--full: full text instead of highlights (more tokens)
Help:
--info: display detailed tutorial with all modes, flags, and examples </parameters>
