# twenty-exa Exposes [Exa](https://exa.ai) structured web search to Twenty AI agents (chat + workflow agents + MCP) as the `app_exa_web_search` tool. ## Installation 1. Register the app on the Twenty server once (admin API / UI): `twenty-exa` from npm. 2. Set `isPreInstalled=true` on the registration so it's installed on every new workspace. Existing workspaces can be backfilled via the `install-pre-installed-apps` CLI command. 3. Set the `EXA_API_KEY` server variable on the registration to your Exa API key. The value is injected into every logic function execution — no per-workspace configuration needed. ## Billing The handler calls Twenty's generic app billing endpoint (`POST /app/billing/charge`) using the application access token injected into the execution env. Pricing mirrors Exa's auto-search tier: $0.007 base (10 results) + $0.001 per additional result.
