> ## Agent Instructions
> The Exa API is served at https://api.exa.ai. Authenticate with `Authorization: Bearer $EXA_API_KEY` (or `x-api-key: $EXA_API_KEY`); create keys at https://dashboard.exa.ai/api-keys?utm_source=docs&utm_medium=docs&utm_campaign=markdown_instructions. Every way an agent can get access to Exa is described at https://exa.ai/auth.md.
> Prefer the official SDKs, `exa-py` (`pip install exa-py`) and `exa-js` (`npm install exa-js`); both read `EXA_API_KEY` from the environment.
> Tool-using agents can call Exa without writing code through the hosted MCP server at https://mcp.exa.ai/mcp, or install the Exa agent skill with `npx skills add exa-labs/agent-skills` (skill file: https://exa.ai/docs/skill.md).
> The OpenAPI specs at https://exa.ai/docs/exa-spec.yaml and https://exa.ai/docs/team-management-spec.yaml are the source of truth for request and response schemas.

Exa organizes usage, billing, and API keys into teams. To set up your company or organization on Exa, create a team and invite your colleagues to it. Everyone on a team shares its credit balance, plan, and API keys.

When you sign up, you start in a team called **Personal**. You can create as many teams as you like and switch between them from the team switcher in the top-left of the dashboard.

> [!NOTE]
>
> Enterprise customers can also group several teams under an Exa organization with SSO and directory sync. Contact [support@exa.ai](mailto:support@exa.ai) to set one up.

## Team Management API

Create and manage API keys programmatically with the [Team Management API](https://exa.ai/docs/reference/team-management/create-api-key.md).

> [!NOTE]
>
> The Team Management API is enabled per team. It authenticates with a service account API key, which is created from the **Service keys** tab on the [API keys page](https://dashboard.exa.ai/api-keys?utm_source=docs\&utm_medium=docs\&utm_campaign=team_management_access) once the feature is enabled for your team. Contact [support@exa.ai](mailto:support@exa.ai) to request access.
