ReActMCP Web Search is an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that integrates web search capabilities into your AI assistant framework. It leverages the Exa API to perform both basic and advanced web searches, returning real-time, markdown-formatted results including titles, URLs, publication dates, and content summaries.
Once connected, the assistant can call these 2 tools directly:
search_web — Basic web search that returns results based on a queryadvanced_search_web — Advanced search with filtering options for domains, required text, and date rangesThe server is distributed via npm as @modelcontextprotocol/inspector, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
Before the server will start you need to supply 2 environment variables: EXA_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.
Search and scraping servers exist to fix the single most common failure of any assistant: answering from stale training data instead of what is on the web today. ReActMCP sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — search_web, advanced_search_web — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other search web scraping servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| search_web | Basic web search that returns results based on a query |
