Exa for AI agents
Neural web search that finds pages by meaning, plus clean page text for the ones worth reading. It is an ability, not an app you connect: switch it on for an agent and Spinrun runs it for you.
- Included with Spinrun
- No card required
The route from an agent to Exa
Once Exa is set up in your workspace, any agent you run can reach it: a Spinrun agent, or Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor through one MCP endpoint. Every call passes through the Spinrun gateway, which sorts it by risk and writes it to the activity log.
By default, every change an agent makes in a connected app waits for your approval, on every plan. Enhanced Control adds per-app read, write and destructive rules at the gateway on Free and Pro.
