Exa + OpenClaw

Give your autonomous agents a live connection to Exa: managed, secure, and ready in minutes.

Exa is a data extraction and search platform for gathering and analyzing information from websites, APIs, or databases. On Molted, your OpenClaw agents connect to Exa through the managed MCP integration layer, with no glue code, no servers to run, and no credentials baked into containers. The agent can search the web, extract data, and monitor sources for Exa, autonomously and within the guardrails you set.

Available actions

14 ready-to-use Exa actions.

Your OpenClaw agents can call any of these Exa actions directly through Molted's managed MCP layer. No wrappers, no boilerplate.

How the connection works

Connect once. The agent acts.

Exa connects with an API key you provide once; it is encrypted at rest and never shipped inside the agent's pod. Everything runs through Molted's managed MCP layer, so there is no integration code to write and nothing to keep running.

01

The agent requests access

Your OpenClaw agent asks for Exa when a task needs it.

02

You approve the connection

Authorize Exa once (API key). Credentials are encrypted at rest and scoped to what you allow.

03

The agent acts

It reads and writes to Exa autonomously, inside your guardrails, with full audit and revocable access.

FAQ

Exa on Molted, answered.

Q.01

Can OpenClaw agents use Exa on Molted?

Yes. Exa is one of 1,000+ apps available through Molted's managed MCP integration layer. Your agent requests access, you approve the connection, and it can act on Exa straight away, with no integration code to write or maintain.

Q.02

How do I connect Exa to my agent?

Exa connects with an API key you provide once; it is encrypted at rest and never shipped inside the agent's pod.

Q.03

What can an agent actually do with Exa?

Within the permissions you grant, an agent can search the web, extract data, and monitor sources. With Exa, your agent can feed fresh, real-world context into the agent before it decides.

Q.04

Is my Exa data and credentials secure?

Yes. Molted never bakes credentials into the agent's pod: every connection is brokered through the managed integration layer, secrets are encrypted at rest, and access stays scoped to what you approve. You can revoke Exa access at any time.

Q.05

Do I have to run any infrastructure to use Exa?

No. Molted is the managed operating environment for autonomous agents: compute, the MCP layer, browser automation and self-healing are all handled for you. Connecting Exa is a configuration step, not an engineering project.

Q.06

Can several agents share one Exa connection?

Each instance gets its own isolated, scoped Exa connection by default, so agents stay separated. You decide which agents may reach Exa and with which permissions.

Ship agents that use Exa, not infrastructure.
