## Websearch Provider Configuration
The `websearch` MCP supports multiple providers. Exa is the default for backward compatibility and works without an API key.
| Provider | URL | Auth | API Key Required |
|----------|-----|------|------------------|
| exa (default) | mcp.exa.ai | x-api-key header | No (optional) |
| tavily | mcp.tavily.com | Authorization Bearer | Yes |
### Configuration Example
```jsonc
{
"websearch": {
"provider": "tavily" // or "exa" (default)
}
}
```
### Environment Variables
- `EXA_API_KEY`: Optional. Used when provider is `exa`.
- `TAVILY_API_KEY`: Required when provider is `tavily`.
### Priority and Behavior
- **Default**: Exa is used if no provider is specified.
- **Backward Compatibility**: Existing setups using `EXA_API_KEY` continue to work without changes.
- **Validation**: Selecting `tavily` without providing `TAVILY_API_KEY` will result in a configuration error.
