Exa + ketch

Use Exa as a native search backend in the ketch CLI.

Overview

ketch is a Go agent-oriented search CLI with a native Exa backend. Select backend exa to use Exa’s hosted MCP endpoint, optionally authenticate with KETCH_EXA_API_KEY, and keep the backend choice in KETCH_BACKEND.

How to enable Exa in ketch:

  • Set KETCH_BACKEND to exa.
  • Optionally set KETCH_EXA_API_KEY for authenticated hosted MCP usage.
  • The equivalent config-file settings are backend: exa and exa_api_key.
