Finds company info, competitors, news, financials, LinkedIn profiles, builds company lists. Use when researching companies, doing competitor analysis, market research, or building company lists.\ncontext: fork\n---\n\n# Company Research\n\n## Tool Selection (Critical)\n\nTwo Exa surfaces, two jobs:\n\n- **Exa Agent** (`agent_run`) — the default for company research. Use it for deep dives, competitor analysis, multi-angle research (product + funding + news + people), and building company lists. One Agent run handles query decomposition, multi-step searching, and synthesis internally — do not orchestrate many manual searches for work an Agent run covers.\n- **`web_search_advanced_exa`** — quick, low-latency lookups: a fast `category: \"company\"` discovery pass, a single news check, or finding a homepage.\n\nDo NOT use other Exa tools.\n\n## Deep Dives and Lists: Exa Agent\n\nAgent runs may stream to completion in one call. If a run outlives the MCP call window, continue waiting with its returned run ID.\n\n1. Call `agent_run` with a natural-language `query` and, when you want repeatable structure, an `outputSchema` (bound arrays with `maxItems`).\n2. If it returns `status: \"running\"` with a `runId`, call `agent_run` again with only that `runId` until `outputReady` is true.\n3. Read `output.text` or `output.structured`, plus `output.grounding` citations, from the `agent_run` result.\n\nUseful inputs: `systemPrompt` (source preferences, dedup rules), `input.exclusion` (companies to avoid), `previousRunId` (a new follow-up run based on a completed run), `effort` (`\"low\"` default; `\"auto\"` or `\"high\"` for more depth).\n\n### Example: company deep dive\n\n```\nagent_run {\n  \"query\": \"Research Anthropic: product lines, funding history and valuation, key executives, main competitors, and notable news from the last 6 months.\",\n  \"effort\": \"auto\",\n  \"outputSchema\": {\n    \"type\": \"object\",\n    \"properties\": {\n      \"overview\": { \"type\": \"string\" },\n      \"funding\": { \"type\": \"array\", \"maxItems\": 10, \"items\": { \"type\": \"object\", \"properties\": { \"round\": { \"type\": \"string\" }, \"amount\": { \"type\": \"string\" }, \"date\": { \"type\": \"string\" } }, \"required\": [\"round\"] } },\n      \"competitors\": { \"type\": \"array\", \"maxItems\": 10, \"items\": { \"type\": \"string\" } },\n      \"key_people\": { \"type\": \"array\", \"maxItems\": 10, \"items\": { \"type\": \"object\", \"properties\": { \"name\": { \"type\": \"string\" }, \"title\": { \"type\": \"string\" } }, \"required\": [\"name\", \"title\"] } }\n    },\n    \"required\": [\"overview\", \"competitors\"]\n  }\n}\n```\n\n### Example: build a company list\n\n```\nagent_run {\n  \"query\": \"Find 25 AI infrastructure startups headquartered in San Francisco. For each, include what they build and their latest funding stage.\",\n  \"effort\": \"auto\",\n  \"outputSchema\": {\n    \"type\": \"object\",\n    \"properties\": {\n      \"companies\": {\n        \"type\": \"array\",\n        \"maxItems\": 25,\n        \"items\": {\n          \"type\": \"object\",\n          \"properties\": {\n            \"name\": { \"type\": \"string\" },\n            \"website\": { \"type\": \"string\", \"format\": \"uri\" },\n            \"description\": { \"type\": \"string\", \"description\": \"in 12 words or less\" },\n            \"funding_stage\": { \"type\": \"string\" }\n          },\n          \"required\": [\"name\", \"website\", \"description\"]\n        }\n      }\n    },\n    \"required\": [\"companies\"]\n  }\n}\n```\n\n## Quick Lookups: Advanced Search\n\nUse `web_search_advanced_exa` when a single fast search answers the question. Tune `numResults` to intent (a few → 10-20; comprehensive → 50-100; specified → match it).\n\n### Categories\n\n- `company` → homepages, rich metadata (headcount, location, funding, revenue)\n- `news` → press coverage, announcements\n- `people` → public professional profiles\n- No category (`type: \"auto\"`) → general web results, broader context\n\nDefault to `type: \"auto\"`. Prefer `highlights` for content extraction; do not stack text + highlights + summary in one call.\n\n### Category-Specific Filter Restrictions\n\nUnsupported category/filter combinations return 400 errors:\n\n- `category: \"company\"` does not support published-date or crawl-date filters, `excludeDomains`, or exact-text filters; express constraints like \"founded after 2020\" in the query instead\n- `category: \"people\"` does not support published-date, crawl-date, domain, or exact-text filters; put all filtering in the natural-language query\n- Without a category (or with `news`), domain and date filters work fine\n\n### Examples\n\nDiscovery pass:\n```\nweb_search_advanced_exa {\n  \"query\": \"AI infrastructure startups San Francisco\",\n  \"category\": \"company\",\n  \"numResults\": 20,\n  \"type\": \"auto\"\n}\n```\n\nNews check:\n```\nweb_search_advanced_exa {\n  \"query\": \"Anthropic AI safety\",\n  \"category\": \"news\",\n  \"numResults\": 15,\n  \"startPublishedDate\": \"2025-01-01\"\n}\n```\n\nKey people:\n```\nweb_search_advanced_exa {\n  \"query\": \"VP Engineering AI infrastructure\",\n  \"category\": \"people\",\n  \"numResults\": 20\n}\n```\n\n## Token Isolation\n\nNever dump raw search results into main context. Spawn Task agents for Advanced Search calls; for Agent runs, go straight from `output.structured` to the final answer.\n\n## Browser Fallback\n\nFall back to Claude in Chrome only when content is auth-gated or requires JavaScript rendering.\n\n## Output Format\n\nReturn:\n1) Results (structured list; one company per row)\n2) Sources (URLs; 1-line relevance each — use `output.grounding` from Agent runs)\n3) Notes (uncertainty/conflicts)\n\n## References\n\n- Exa Agent guide: https://docs.exa.ai/reference/agent-api-guide\n- Company Search reference: https://docs.exa.ai/reference/verticals/company-for-coding-agents\n- Exa MCP setup: https://docs.exa.ai/reference/exa-mcp\n- Full docs for LLMs: https://docs.exa.ai/llms.txt\n","tagline":"Company research using Exa.
