HOW TO READ THIS REPORT

Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface exa-labs/exa-mcp-server, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.

OVERALL DIRECTION

highreadme#1

Reposition README's opening to clarify 'MCP' and project purpose

Why:

CURRENT

# Exa MCP Server

Connect AI assistants to Exa's search capabilities: web search, code search, and company research.

COPY-PASTE FIX

# Exa MCP Server (Model Context Protocol)

Connect AI assistants to Exa's powerful search capabilities—including real-time web search, code search, and company research—via the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This project provides the server implementation for integrating Exa's search with your AI agents, enabling them to perform advanced information retrieval and augment their context with real-time data. It is unrelated to Minecraft.

mediumtopics#2

Add AI-specific topics

Why:

CURRENT

code-search, codesearch, crawling, mcp, mcp-server, model-context-protocol, web-search, websearch

COPY-PASTE FIX

code-search, codesearch, crawling, mcp, mcp-server, model-context-protocol, web-search, websearch, ai-agents, llm-tools, ai-search, real-time-search, external-knowledge

mediumreadme#3

Add a 'Key Features for AI Agents' section to the README

Why:

COPY-PASTE FIX

Add a new section, e.g., after 'Installation', with a heading like '## Key Features for AI Agents' and list points such as:
*   **Real-time Web Search:** Provide your AI with up-to-the-minute information from the internet.
*   **Comprehensive Code Search:** Enable AI to find and understand code snippets across various repositories.
*   **Company Research:** Equip AI with tools for in-depth company and market analysis.
*   **Seamless Integration:** Easy setup with popular AI assistants like Cursor, VS Code, and Claude.
*   **Model Context Protocol (MCP):** Standardized interface for connecting external tools to LLMs.
