    Tavily Crawl Beta

    MCP demo

    The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables AI systems to interact seamlessly with various data sources and tools, facilitating secure, two-way connections.

    Developed by Anthropic, the Model Context Protocol (MCP) enables AI assistants like Claude to seamlessly integrate with Tavily's advanced search and data extraction capabilities. This integration provides AI models with real-time access to web information, complete with sophisticated filtering options and domain-specific search features.

    The Tavily MCP server provides:

    • search, extract, map, crawl tools
    • Real-time web search capabilities through the tavily-search tool
    • Intelligent data extraction from web pages via the tavily-extract tool
    • Powerful web mapping tool that creates a structured map of website
    • Web crawler that systematically explores websites

    • Tavily MCP server installation ⚡

    Running with NPX

    npx -y tavily-mcp@latest

    Installing via Smithery

    To install Tavily MCP Server for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

    npx -y @smithery/cli install @tavily-ai/tavily-mcp --client claude

    Although you can launch a server on its own, it's not particularly helpful in isolation. Instead, you should integrate it into an MCP client. Below is an example of how to configure the Claude Desktop app to work with the tavily-mcp server.

    Configuring MCP Clients ⚙️

    This repository will explain how to configure VS Code, Cursor and Claude Desktop to work with the tavily-mcp server.

    Configuring VS Code 💻

    For one-click installation, click one of the install buttons below:

    Manual Installation

    First check if there are install buttons at the top of this section that match your needs. If you prefer manual installation, follow these steps:

    Add the following JSON block to your User Settings (JSON) file in VS Code. You can do this by pressing Ctrl + Shift + P (or Cmd + Shift + P on macOS) and typing Preferences: Open User Settings (JSON).

    {
  "mcp": {
    "inputs": [
      {
        "type": "promptString",
        "id": "tavily_api_key",
        "description": "Tavily API Key",
        "password": true
      }
    ],
    "servers": {
      "tavily": {
        "command": "npx",
        "args": ["-y", "tavily-mcp@latest"],
        "env": {
          "TAVILY_API_KEY": "${input:tavily_api_key}"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

    Optionally, you can add it to a file called .vscode/mcp.json in your workspace:

    {
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "tavily_api_key",
      "description": "Tavily API Key",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "tavily": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "tavily-mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "TAVILY_API_KEY": "${input:tavily_api_key}"
      }
    }
  }
}

    Configuring Cline 🤖

    The easiest way to set up the Tavily MCP server in Cline is through the marketplace with a single click:

    1. Open Cline in VS Code
    2. Click on the Cline icon in the sidebar
    3. Navigate to the "MCP Servers" tab ( 4 squares )
    4. Search "Tavily" and click "install"
    5. When prompted, enter your Tavily API key

    Alternatively, you can manually set up the Tavily MCP server in Cline:

    1. Open the Cline MCP settings file:

      For macOS:

      # Using Visual Studio Code
code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json

# Or using TextEdit
open -e ~/Library/Application\ Support/Code/User/globalStorage/saoudrizwan.claude-dev/settings/cline_mcp_settings.json

      For Windows:

      code %APPDATA%\Code\User\globalStorage\saoudrizwan.claude-dev\settings\cline_mcp_settings.json

    2. Add the Tavily server configuration to the file:

      Replace your-api-key-here with your actual Tavily API key.

      {
  "mcpServers": {
    "tavily-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "tavily-mcp@latest"],
      "env": {
        "TAVILY_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
      },
      "disabled": false,
      "autoApprove": []
    }
  }
}

    3. Save the file and restart Cline if it's already running.

    4. When using Cline, you'll now have access to the Tavily MCP tools. You can ask Cline to use the tavily-search and tavily-extract tools directly in your conversations.

    Configuring Cursor 🖥️

    Note: Requires Cursor version 0.45.6 or higher

    To set up the Tavily MCP server in Cursor:

    1. Open Cursor Settings
    2. Navigate to Features > MCP Servers
    3. Click on the "+ Add New MCP Server" button
    4. Fill out the following information:
      • Name: Enter a nickname for the server (e.g., "tavily-mcp")
      • Type: Select "command" as the type
      • Command: Enter the command to run the server: 
        env TAVILY_API_KEY=your-api-key npx -y tavily-mcp@latest

        Important: Replace your-api-key with your Tavily API key. You can get one at app.tavily.com/home

    After adding the server, it should appear in the list of MCP servers. You may need to manually press the refresh button in the top right corner of the MCP server to populate the tool list.

    The Composer Agent will automatically use the Tavily MCP tools when relevant to your queries. It is better to explicitly request to use the tools by describing what you want to do (e.g., "User tavily-search to search the web for the latest news on AI"). On mac press command + L to open the chat, select the composer option at the top of the screen, beside the submit button select agent and submit the query when ready.

    Troubleshooting 🛠️

    Common Issues

    1. Server Not Found

      • Verify the npm installation by running npm --verison
      • Check Claude Desktop configuration syntax by running code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
      • Ensure Node.js is properly installed by running node --version

    2. NPX related issues

    • If you encounter errors related to npx, you may need to use the full path to the npx executable instead.
    • You can find this path by running which npx in your terminal, then replace the "command": "npx" line with "command": "/full/path/to/npx" in your configuration.
    1. API Key Issues
      • Confirm your Tavily API key is valid
      • Check the API key is correctly set in the config
      • Verify no spaces or quotes around the API key
