Early access. A mod is a complete Claude Code plugin built on function hooks (Anthropic's mods/ layout); it loads in Claude Code 2.1.259+ with CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS=1 and the $ API may still change between releases. Hooks module: hooks/websearch-to-exa.ts. Options: exaApiKey</code>, <code>numResults</code>, <code>type (set in user or managed settings pluginConfigs, or /config). Run claude plugin validate on the installed folder to see every event it hooks and every $ call it makes.

websearch-to-exa

Overrides the built-in WebSearch tool and routes the query to the Exa search API through $.http.fetch. On success the hook answers { result } in WebSearch's own output shape without calling next (the built-in search never runs); with no key configured, or when Exa fails, it falls back to the built-in search.

The API key comes from the plugin's options (userConfig "exaApiKey"). Never hardcode it in this file.

Options

  exaApiKey:  string   Exa API key (required to activate)
  numResults: number   results per query (default 8)
  type:       string   "auto" | "neural" | "keyword" (default "auto")

Declared in .claude-plugin/plugin.json (userConfig). Set them in /config, in user settings (~/.claude/settings.json, not project settings), with --settings <file> or in managed settings:

Install

npx claude-code-templates@latest --mod integrations/websearch-to-exa
CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS=1 claude

It is written to .claude/skills/websearch-to-exa/, which Claude Code auto-loads as websearch-to-exa@skills-dir. For one session with hot reload: CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS=1 claude --plugin-dir .claude/skills/websearch-to-exa. claude plugin validate .claude/skills/websearch-to-exa prints every event it hooks and every $ call it makes.

Early access. Mods need Claude Code 2.1.259+ with CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_FUNCTION_HOOKS=1; the $ API may change between releases. Typed against Anthropic's declarations: https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/tree/main/mods
