# People Research (Exa)
## Tool
Use `exec` to call: `mcporter call exa-search.web_search_advanced_exa <params>`
## Critical Rules
- **Never run searches in main context.** Spawn subagents or run sequentially.
- **Query variation:** 2-3 phrasings, run in parallel, deduplicate.
- **Dynamic numResults:** "a few" → 10-20, "comprehensive" → 50-100.
## Categories
| Category | Use for |
|----------|---------|
| `people` | LinkedIn profiles, public bios (primary) |
| `personal site` | Blogs, portfolios, about pages |
| `news` | Press mentions, interviews, speaker bios |
| _(none)_ | General web, broader context |
### Restrictions with `category=people`
Do NOT use: `startPublishedDate`, `endPublishedDate`, `startCrawlDate`, `endCrawlDate`, `excludeDomains`, `includeText`, `excludeText`.
`includeDomains` → LinkedIn only: `["linkedin.com"]`.
