Setup

1. Create an Exa account: Go to https://dashboard.exa.ai and sign up - new accounts include free credits for testing.
2. Create an API key: Open https://dashboard.exa.ai/api-keys and create a key with a descriptive name (e.g. ‘Veryfront Integration’).
3. Store the key: Add it to your .env file as EXA_API_KEY=…
4. Verify access: Run the Search tool with a simple query. A 401 means the key is invalid; a 402 means you are out of credits.

• All endpoints are billed per request from your credit balance; Answer also incurs LLM generation cost
• Deep search types cost more than fast/instant - use type ‘auto’ unless you need depth
