Exa MCP integration
Answers a question with citations, extracts full page text, builds Websets of lookalike pages, and runs async research tasks that return reports.
18actions available
Three actions you can hand over today
Every action runs live through MCP. Nothing to build, nothing to maintain.
Create research task
Lyro launches an async research task that explores the web, gathers sources, and synthesizes findings with citations. Hands you a comprehensive brief.
Generate an answer
Lyro synthesizes a direct, citation-backed answer to your question by reading relevant pages. Saves you from manual link-clicking and skimming.
Search
Lyro runs a web search with advanced filtering and AI-optimized prompting. Returns relevant results faster than raw search engine queries.
How businesses use Exa + Lyro
Each card is one request a support team gets, and the Exa actions Lyro runs to close it.
Answer a factual question with sources attached
Lyro generates a direct answer with its citation list, or runs a filtered search and then pulls the full text and highlights from the URLs it returns, since search alone gives only snippets.
Generate An AnswerSearchGet Contents From URLsBuild a set of pages that look like this one
From a single URL, Lyro finds semantically similar pages using embeddings, then seeds a Webset with that search and uploads whatever data you already hold into the same collection.

Lyro starts an asynchronous research task that gathers sources and synthesises findings, takes the researchId back immediately, and polls until the report or structured JSON is ready.
Create Research TaskGet Research TaskList Research TasksKeep a Webset refreshing on its own
Lyro schedules a Monitor so a Webset updates without a manual run, then reads the webhook registrations and the event history to confirm those updates actually fired.

How it works
Get started in 3 steps
Connect once, then just ask. There is no workflow builder to learn and nothing to maintain — Lyro reads the Exa actions it has and picks the ones a request needs.
Connect Exa
Authorize the Exa account your team already uses — one consent screen, no API keys, no mapping tables. Lyro can only do what you granted that account, and you can disconnect it at any time.
Tell your agent what you need
Describe the job the way you would hand it to a teammate. Lyro maps it to the Exa actions that close it and chains as many as the request needs.
Watch it work
The agent runs the actions inside the conversation the customer is already in, so nobody copies data between tabs and your team can take over at any point.

FAQ
Everything else about Exa
Setup, permissions, and the limits of what Lyro can do inside Exa.
Two that matter. includeDomains and excludeDomains are mutually exclusive and sending both is a validation error, and type='keyword' supports neither of them nor useAutoprompt - only 'neural' and 'auto' do. Lyro picks the search type to match the filters a question actually needs.
