How to call Exa Search from code (MCP)

Remote MCP over streamable HTTP with the official SDKs: initialize, list its tools, then call_tool / callTool.

Python

# pip install mcp
import asyncio
from mcp import ClientSession
from mcp.client.streamable_http import streamablehttp_client

async def main():
    async with streamablehttp_client("https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp") as (read, write, _):
        async with ClientSession(read, write) as session:
            await session.initialize()
            tools = await session.list_tools()
            print([t.name for t in tools.tools])

asyncio.run(main())

TypeScript

// npm i @modelcontextprotocol/sdk
import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js";
import { StreamableHTTPClientTransport } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/streamableHttp.js";

const client = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" });
await client.connect(new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(new URL("https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp")));
console.log((await client.listTools()).tools.map((t) => t.name));

A2A vs MCP: which one to use

Call it with the Rooms SDK

Through the Rooms switchboard (a Rooms specialist answers if it doesn't). SDK docs

// npm i https://rooms.aurmada.com/sdk/rooms-a2a-0.1.0.tgz
import { Rooms } from "rooms-a2a";
const r = await new Rooms().ask("…", { agent: "exa-search" });

# pip install https://rooms.aurmada.com/sdk/rooms_a2a-0.1.0-py3-none-any.whl
from rooms_a2a import Rooms
r = Rooms().ask("…", agent="exa-search")
