Can NoClick get answers with citations from Exa?

Yes. The Answer operation sends a question to Exa and returns a written answer along with the sources it drew from. If you need the raw material instead, Get Contents pulls the full text of any page so a later step can process it.

How do I connect Exa to NoClick?

The Exa node authenticates with an API key. Create a key in your Exa dashboard under API keys, paste it into the node's credentials, and every operation in the workflow uses it. Connecting the credential also registers the monitor webhook automatically, so the trigger works without extra setup.

Can a workflow start when Exa finds something new?

Yes. Create a Monitor for a search you care about, and the On Monitor Results trigger fires the workflow each time that monitor produces new results. From there you can summarize the results, store them, or route them wherever you need.

What can the node do with Websets?

It creates a Webset from a search, adds enrichments to fill in extra fields on each item, and lists the items once Exa has gathered them. You can also create a Webset webhook so later steps run as the collection updates, and list a Webset's events to track what changed.

Does it support Exa's research agents?

Yes. You can create an agent run to start a research task, check its progress with get agent run, list past runs, and cancel a run that is still going. That lets a workflow hand off longer research jobs to Exa and pick the results back up when they land.

How does Codex get access to my apps?

You connect an integration to the agent's tools handle and select which operations to expose. Codex then calls those operations as tools, authenticated with the credentials you connect in NoClick.

Is this the same Codex CLI?

Yes. NoClick runs the Codex harness for you and adds your connected apps as tools. You do not have to install or manage anything locally.

Can I trigger a Codex agent automatically?

Yes. Because it runs hosted, you can start it from a schedule, a webhook, or another app event, not just by hand.

Which apps can I connect?

Any of NoClick’s tool-provider integrations, from Slack and Linear to GitHub, Notion, Google Sheets, Postgres, and dozens more.

Codex

Connect Codex to Exa

Give an AI agent Exa as a tool and it can research the live web while it works, not just answer from memory. It can pull a cited answer to a question, find pages similar to a reference URL, fetch the full text of any page, and spin up Websets and research agent runs to gather sources on a topic on its own. Wire it into a coding agent in NoClick and web research becomes something the agent does mid-task instead of asking you to do it.

What happens next

Set up in minutes

The open button drops you into a guided setup. It asks exactly this, nothing else:

Choose where it runs
On your computer through your own Codex, or hosted in the cloud. The rest of setup adapts to your choice:
Pick what it can do in Exa
A preset of real Exa operations. Each one becomes a tool the agent can call, and it can't touch anything outside the list.
Connect Exa
One sign-in. The agent acts through your account, scoped to the operations you picked.
Add your personal MCP link
The last step mints a private MCP URL for this agent and walks you through exactly this, with your real link filled in. The page flips to Connected the moment your Codex first calls in. Codex connects when a session starts — run codex, or restart a running one.
Run this in your terminal
$codex mcp add noclick --url https://mcp.noclick.app/s/<your-link>
<your-link> is your personal server URL — setup mints it for you.

Starting points

What you can build

When an Exa monitor turns up new results on a topic you track, start a workflow that summarizes them and posts the findings to your team.

Answer an inbound research question by calling the Answer operation and returning the response with its cited sources.

Hand the node a competitor's page and use Find Similar to surface comparable companies or articles, then collect them into a Webset.

Feed a list of URLs to Get Contents to pull full page text, then run it through an AI step to extract the fields you care about.

Create a Webset from a search query, list its items once Exa has filled it, and sync the results into a spreadsheet or CRM.

Create an agent run to kick off a deeper research task, then act on the results once the run finishes.

About Codex

Codex is OpenAI's command-line coding agent. NoClick runs it as a hosted agent and lets you connect your apps to it as tools, turning it from a coding assistant into an operator that can act across your systems. Connect an integration to the agent and Codex can query, create, and update records in that app directly. You keep the Codex experience and give it real reach into the tools your team already uses.

Fast, capable code generation and editing

Good at well-scoped, concrete tasks

Strong at API and data manipulation

Familiar to teams already on OpenAI tooling

Good to know
