### websearch

Search the web for information.

:::note
This tool is only available when using the OpenCode provider or when the `OPENCODE_ENABLE_EXA` environment variable is set to any truthy value (e.g., `true` or `1`).

To enable when launching OpenCode:

```bash
OPENCODE_ENABLE_EXA=1 opencode
```
:::

```json title="opencode.json" {4}
{
"$schema": "https://opencode.ai/config.json",
"permission": {
"websearch": "allow"
}
}
```

Performs web searches using Exa AI to find relevant information online. Useful for researching topics, finding current events, or gathering information beyond the training data cutoff.

No API key is required — the tool connects directly to Exa AI's hosted MCP service without authentication.

:::tip
Use `websearch` when you need to find information (discovery), and `webfetch` when you need to retrieve content from a specific URL (retrieval).
