LangChain Exa Search get_code_context_exa
How to: LangChain Exa Search get_code_context_exa
Add Exa Search to LangChain
-
01
Open pip install langchain-mcp-adapters and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
from langchain_mcp_adapters.client import MultiServerMCPClient
client = MultiServerMCPClient({
"exa-mcp-server": {
"transport": "stdio",
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "exa-mcp-server"],
}
})
tools = await client.get_tools()
-
02
Save the file and restart LangChain.
-
03
Ask for something get_code_context_exa does. LangChain lists the server's tools on connect and calls get_code_context_exa itself — you do not invoke it by name.
-
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that Exa Search's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.
get_tools() returns the server's tools as LangChain tools, ready for an agent. LangChain docs
Set these first
Exa Search will not start until these are set, so get_code_context_exa never becomes available.

Same tool, other clients
Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
