Exa Web Search (Free)
Neural search for web, code, and company research. No API key required.
Setup
Verify mcporter is configured:
mcporter list exa
If not listed:
mcporter config add exa https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp
Core Tools
web_search_exa
Search web for current info, news, or facts.
mcporter call 'exa.web_search_exa(query: "latest AI news 2026", numResults: 5)'
Parameters:
query- Search querynumResults(optional, default: 8)type(optional) -"auto","fast", or"deep"
get_code_context_exa
Find code examples and docs from GitHub, Stack Overflow.
mcporter call 'exa.get_code_context_exa(query: "React hooks examples", tokensNum: 3000)'
Parameters:
query- Code/API search querytokensNum(optional, default: 5000) - Range: 1000-50000
company_research_exa
Research companies for business info and news.
mcporter call 'exa.company_research_exa(companyName: "Anthropic", numResults: 3)'
Parameters:
companyName- Company namenumResults(optional, default: 5)
Advanced Tools (Optional)
Six additional tools available by updating config URL:
web_search_advanced_exa- Domain/date filtersdeep_search_exa- Query expansioncrawling_exa- Full page extractionpeople_search_exa- Professional profilesdeep_researcher_start/check- AI research agent
Enable all tools:
mcporter config add exa-full "https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp?tools=web_search_exa,web_search_advanced_exa,get_code_context_exa,deep_search_exa,crawling_exa,company_research_exa,people_search_exa,deep_researcher_start,deep_researcher_check"
# Then use:
mcporter call 'exa-full.deep_search_exa(query: "AI safety research")'
Tips
- Web: Use
type: "fast"for quick lookup,"deep"for thorough research - Code: Lower
tokensNum(1000-2000) for focused, higher (5000+) for comprehensive - See examples.md for more patterns

pedronauck/yc-apply
development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Guides a founder through the full Y Combinator batch application end-to-end. A 10-phase workflow that captures the live YC form, profiles the founders, stress-tests the idea via an embedded grill loop, runs a mandatory 5-agent parallel external research pass on the startup, drafts every form field with anti-pattern and accepted-example checks, produces founder-video bullet notes (no script), runs a final adversarial gate, generates paste-ready submission answers, unlocks an interview-prep simulator after invite, and supports reapplicant delta tracking and post-decision post-mortems. Writes a documented markdown trail under a user-chosen workspace. Use when a founder wants to prepare a YC batch application, build their founder video, drill mock YC interview questions, or reapply with delta evidence. Don't use for pitch-deck design unrelated to YC, generic startup advice without applying, or post-funding work.

pedronauck/writing-tech-post
development
VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Authors engineering blog posts end-to-end: launch deep-dives, incident postmortems, architecture migrations, performance case studies, tutorials, AI/agent system writeups, security disclosures, and research-to-product translations. Picks the correct archetype, plans the abstraction ladder, enforces an evidence cadence (diagrams, benchmarks, profiles, traces, code, ablations), tunes voice against publisher house styles (Datadog, Vercel, GitHub, AWS, Meta, Cloudflare, Jane Street), and runs a pre-publish gate for narrative momentum and disclosure ethics. Use when drafting a new engineering post, restructuring a draft that feels flat, deciding which evidence form belongs where, validating that depth and product context are balanced, or preparing a postmortem, migration, or performance narrative for external publication. Do not use for API reference documentation, README authoring, marketing copy, release notes, generic SEO content, ghost-written executive thought leadership, or non-engineering long-form essays.

VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Provides guardrails for user-facing UI work: usability heuristics, accessibility floors, design-system discipline, component states, microcopy, motion, dark mode, responsive behavior, and human-AI UX. Use when designing, generating, reviewing, or refactoring visible product surfaces such as components, pages, dashboards, forms, dialogs, loading/empty/error states, or AI interfaces. Do not use for backend-only work, infrastructure, CLI/TUI design, or pure documentation editing.

VerifiedTrustedCommunity
Master TypeScript's advanced type system including generics, conditional types, mapped types, template literals, and utility types for building type-safe applications. Use when implementing complex type logic, creating reusable type utilities, or ensuring compile-time type safety in TypeScript projects. Don't use for plain JavaScript, runtime validation libraries (Zod, Yup), or basic TypeScript syntax questions.
