The Tavily MCP server is a comprehensive toolkit that enables integrated web data workflows by providing search, extraction, mapping, and crawling capabilities. Core components include tavily-search for real-time web search, tavily-extract for intelligent extraction of content from web pages, and a powerful web-mapping tool to build structured representations of a site’s pages and relationships. The built-in web crawler systematically explores websites to gather data, enabling comprehensive coverage and up-to-date data for downstream use. The server can be run locally with npx tavily-mcp@latest or installed via Smithery, and can also be accessed as a remote MCP at mcp.tavily.com/mcp/?tavilyApiKey=..., supporting secure API-key or Authorization header usage. The MCP server is designed to integrate with a wide range of clients, including Claude Desktop, Cursor, and VS Code, with ready-made configuration samples and OpenAI tool integrations. The README provides installation steps, client configuration guidance, and examples for OpenAI workflows, illustrating how to leverage Tavily’s live web capabilities in AI agents while keeping the data flow centralized and reproducible.
