npm install @realmikekelly/exa-cliCLI for Exa AI search via GAP (Gated Agent Proxy).
By Mike Kelly.
``bash`
npm install -g @realmikekelly/exa-cli
1. GAP installed and running - See GAP documentation
2. Install the Exa plugin - mikekelly/exa-gap
3. Set your Exa API key in GAP
4. Create a GAP token for your agent
Set your GAP token in a .env file in your working directory:
`
GAP_TOKEN=your-token-here
Or as an environment variable:
`bash`
export GAP_TOKEN=your-token-here
The CLI checks .env first, then falls back to the environment variable.
