toolfare

Ask your AI what the open web actually says about something.

Neural search across public pages, a single written answer with the sources it came from, and the readable text of pages you already have — answered inside ChatGPT, Claude, Codex or Cursor. No Exa account or API key of your own: toolfare makes each call and tells your AI the price before it runs.

Set it up once, in the app you already use.

There is nothing to install for Exa specifically. One connection reaches every source in the catalogue, and this is one of them.

Claude Code

Use the MCP connection in your AI app, or run the toolfare CLI in its terminal. Both use browser approval, discover capabilities and quote paid calls before they run.

  1. 1

    Create your toolfare workspace

    The connection is public and identical for everyone — your toolfare sign-in is what points it at your data. Connect one account in that workspace too: that is what your AI reads. The first time your AI uses the connection, toolfare asks you to approve the access and names the workspace it will read through. No workspace yet? toolfare has you create one right there, then brings you back to approve.

    Create your workspace

    Already have one? Nothing to do here — sign in when the connection asks for it.

  2. 2

    Copy the toolfare MCP connection

    https://api.toolfare.ai/mcp
  3. 3

    Add it to Claude Code

    claude mcp add --transport http toolfare https://api.toolfare.ai/mcp
    1. Run the command in any project. It writes the configuration and prints an `Added …` line.
    2. Authorize separately — adding a server does not open a browser.
    3. Run `claude mcp list` to confirm the server reads `✔ Connected`.
  4. 4

    Approve the access, then ask it something

    1. Inside Claude Code, run `/mcp` and follow the browser flow — or, from your shell, `claude mcp login toolfare`.
    2. The toolfare consent page names the host, the workspace the grant will read through, and what the connection will be able to do.
    3. Approving creates the grant listed above on this page. Cancelling creates nothing.
    4. On a machine with no browser (SSH, headless Linux), `claude mcp login toolfare --no-browser` prints the URL and takes the pasted callback.

    Paste this first

    Using toolfare, search for what capabilities I can reach.

    A list of capabilities with names, what each reads and what each costs. An empty list means the search matched nothing — try broader words. An error naming authorization means the host never completed the browser step.

3 things you can ask it

Ask in plain English. These are the tools behind the answer.

Each one is a tool your AI is offered by name once you connect. You never have to type the name — it is here so you can tell what actually ran.

  • Search the web by meaning, not keywords

    exa_search

    Takes a question or a description in plain language and returns the public pages that match it, optionally with their text.

    • “Find recent articles about MCP adoption in marketing teams.”
    • “What are people saying about this product on the open web?”

  • One sourced answer to a question

    exa_answer

    Searches the web for a question and returns a single written answer with the citations it was drawn from.

    • “Who founded this company, and what did they do before?”
    • “When did this competitor launch its enterprise plan?”

  • The text of pages you already have

    exa_contents

    Returns the readable text, the relevant highlights, or a summary for up to 100 URLs, without searching for them first.

    • “Get the text of these three pages.”
    • “Summarise what this page says about pricing.”
