The Tavily MCP Server is an AI-powered search tool. It uses the Tavily API and the Model Context Protocol to give AI assistants the ability to perform current, detailed web searches.
To use it, clone its repository and install dependencies. Configure your MCP client with your Tavily API key and start the server. You can then call its search tool with your query.
Its key features include AI-driven searches with configurable depth. It provides rich results with context snippets and AI-generated summaries. The server maintains a search history with caching and works with multiple MCP clients.
Use cases include enhancing AI assistants with real-time search, conducting web research with recent data, and improving interactions via AI summaries.
Prerequisites are Node.js (v16+) and a Tavily API key. It is suitable for clients like Cline and Claude Desktop. The server handles errors by providing detailed messages for issues like invalid API keys or network failures.
