When to Activate User needs current web information or news Searching for code examples, API docs, or technical references Researching companies, competitors, or market players Finding professional profiles or people in a domain Running background research for any development task User says "search for", "look up", "find", or "what's the latest on" MCP Requirement Exa MCP server must be configured.
