Analytics & Data
What the Exa connector can do
Exa runs neural search across the web and returns results built for language models instead of a list of blue links. A research or content Space in type.com can ask Claude to generate a citation-backed answer to a question, kick off a deeper research task that gathers and synthesizes sources, or set up a Webset that keeps collecting matching pages over time.
One connection, many Spaces

FAQ
Questions people ask before connecting Exa
Can Claude run web research with Exa from type.com?
Yes. Once Exa is connected to a Space, you can ask the agent to generate a cited answer, start a research task, or build a Webset, and the result shows up in the thread for the team.
How does type.com authenticate with Exa?
Exa uses a bearer token. An admin adds it once when setting up the connection and controls which Spaces can use it.
Can Exa research run on a schedule?
Yes. A recurring research task, or a Webset monitor that refreshes automatically, can be set up as a type.com automation that posts updates to a channel.
Is this the same as a Exa MCP server?
Not exactly. type.com uses connectors and connections to give selected Spaces access to approved app tools and data. Some connectors use hosted MCP, while others use OAuth, API keys, service accounts, or custom APIs.
