| `exa_company_research` | `companyName`, `numResults?` | Research any company — products, services, recent news, industry position. |
| `exa_twitter_search` | `query`, `numResults?`, `startPublishedDate?`, `endPublishedDate?` | Search Twitter/X posts and discussions. Filter by date range (ISO 8601). |

All tools are enabled by default. Requests time out after 30 seconds.

## Install

```bash
openclaw plugins install openclaw-exa-search
openclaw plugins enable openclaw-exa-search
openclaw gateway restart
```

If you have a `plugins.allow` allowlist configured, add the plugin id:

```json
{
  "plugins": {
    "allow": ["openclaw-exa-search"]
  }
}
```

Verify:

```bash
openclaw plugins list | grep openclaw-exa-search
```

## Examples

- "Search Twitter for what people are saying about GPT-5"
- "Find the latest Apple 10-Q filing"
- "Research Anthropic as a company"
- "Find CTO profiles at YC startups"
- "Search for React Server Components examples"

## Development

```bash
npm install
npm run typecheck
npm test              # unit tests
npm run test:integration  # integration tests (hits real Exa endpoint)
npm run build
```

## Notes

- This plugin depends on Exa's public MCP endpoint (`mcp.exa.ai`). If Exa adds authentication or rate limiting in the future, the plugin will need updates.
- Date parameters use ISO 8601 format (e.g., `2024-01-01T00:00:00.000Z`).
