Latest Audit Result

The Cursor plugin connects to the hosted MCP at https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp (no tools= param) and correctly receives the two default-enabled tools: web_search_exa (query, numResults) and web_fetch_exa (urls, maxCharacters). Skills, commands, and rules correctly wrap these tools with proper parameter documentation. No deprecated features are used. The declared capabilities overstated coverage: find_similar has no MCP tool equivalent in exa-mcp-server, and the /research endpoint was sunset May 1 2026. Search type selection (auto/fast/instant), summary, and subpages require web_search_advanced_exa which is off-by-default and not enabled by the plugin's MCP URL. Previously identified issue: web_search_advanced_exa still not exposed — still relevant. Previously identified issue: deep_researcher_start/check — no longer relevant (deprecated, /research sunset).

Health: healthy

Missing Features (3)

find_similar is declared as an endpoint but exa-mcp-server has no MCP tool for /findsimilar — this capability was never available via the MCP baseline
research endpoint sunset May 1 2026 per changelog — deep_researcher_start/check are deprecated in exa-mcp-server and correctly omitted by plugin, but the declared capability is now invalid
Search type selection (auto/fast/instant) declared but inaccessible — web_search_exa hardcodes type to 'auto'; type param only exposed via web_search_advanced_exa which is not enabled
