Overview

The tavily-mcp server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that enables AI assistants and agents to perform real-time web search and research using Tavily. It allows AI-driven workflows to retrieve fresh, relevant information from the web — including articles, documentation, and summaries — without relying solely on static training data or manual browsing.

This server is especially useful for research, question answering, competitive analysis, and any workflow where up-to-date information is critical.
