FAQPage Schema
How do I use neural search to find current web content and technical references?

Neural search retrieves current web content and technical references by querying the Exa MCP server with a configured API key. It searches across web and code sources to find news, articles, and documentation without manual browsing.

Can I find code examples and API documentation using web research?

Yes, web research via the Exa MCP server retrieves code examples and API documentation from various sources. It uses neural search to locate technical references and implementation details across code repositories and developer resources.

Do I need an Exa MCP server and API key to perform company research and people lookup?

Yes, performing company research and people lookup requires a configured Exa MCP server and a valid EXA_API_KEY. These dependencies enable the neural search backend to retrieve company intelligence and professional profiles.

What's the best way to research competitors and professionals in a specific domain?

The best way to research competitors and professionals is using neural search to query company information and people profiles. The Exa MCP server aggregates domain-specific intelligence, eliminating manual searches across multiple disconnected sources.

How does deep search work for technical subjects and code implementations?

Deep search for technical subjects works by using neural algorithms to delve into code implementations across web sources. The Exa MCP server processes semantic queries to extract in-depth information and technical references beyond simple keyword matching.

Are there limitations when using neural search for current news and research papers?

Neural search for current news and research papers is limited by the availability of configured Exa MCP server endpoints and API key validity. Retrieval quality depends on the underlying web sources and the depth of the query parameters provided.
