About Tavily

Tavily MCP Server is a production-ready Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides four core tools: real-time web search (tavily-search), intelligent data extraction from web pages (tavily-extract), structured website mapping (tavily-map), and systematic web crawling (tavily-crawl). It is designed for AI agents and developers who need to integrate real-time web capabilities into their applications. The server can be run locally or connected via a remote MCP server (https://mcp.tavily.com/mcp/), supporting seamless integration with Claude Code, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible clients. The project is open-source on GitHub.
