Codepit The toolbox

Give Claude live web search

Connects Claude to Exa's hosted server, so it can search the web and read any page as clean text while it works.

Scan checks all of exa-labs/exa-mcp-server on your computer, before anything installs.

Codepit runs on your computer. Open this page there to scan it before installing.
