Tavily MCP

Tavily's official server for its AI-focused search API. It offers real-time web search, content extraction from URLs, site crawling and site mapping. It is available hosted, using OAuth or an API key in the URL or header, or locally via npx. It is a common choice for research agents.

Connect

MCP endpoint: https://mcp.tavily.com/mcp/?tavilyApiKey={API_KEY}

{
  "mcpServers": {  
    "tavily": {  
      "url": "https://mcp.tavily.com/mcp/?tavilyApiKey={API_KEY}"  
    }  
  }  
}
