get_code_context_exa

What it does

Finds real code snippets and docs from GitHub, docs sites, and Stack Overflow.
Great for correct syntax, setup guides, and usage examples.

Inputs

• query (string, required): What code or doc you want to find.
• tokensNum (string or int, optional): How much context to return.

Use dynamic for auto length, or a number like 10000. dynamic is recommended.

Examples

Basic:

get_code_context_exa { "query": "React useState example" }

More context:

get_code_context_exa {
  "query": "Current Next.js app router with TypeScript setup",
  "tokensNum": 8000
}

Shorter output:

get_code_context_exa {
  "query": "pandas groupby examples",
  "tokensNum": 2000
}

When to Use

• Finding correct syntax for a library or SDK
• Getting real code examples for a feature
• Reviewing setup steps or best practices

Notes

• Ask for specific versions to improve accuracy.
• Larger tokensNum returns more context but costs more.
