Overview

What is Tavily MCP Server?

A FastAPI-based server that wraps the Tavily API into an MCP (Model Context Protocol) service. It provides endpoints for web search and content extraction, secured by API key authentication. Designed for AI agents and developers who need programmatic access to Tavily's search capabilities via the MCP protocol.

How to use Tavily MCP Server?

Install dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt, set the API_KEY and TAVILY_API_KEY environment variables, then run uvicorn server:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --reload. The server exposes two POST endpoints: /tavily-search and /tavily-extract.

Frequently asked questions

What API keys are required?

The server needs two environment variables: `API_KEY` (for accessing the server's endpoints) and `TAVILY_API_KEY` (for accessing the Tavily API).

How do I run the server?

After installing dependencies, set the two API keys as environment variables and run `uvicorn server:app --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8000 --reload`. The server will be available at `http://127.0.0.1:8000`.

What endpoints does the server provide?

Two POST endpoints: `/tavily-search` for web search and `/tavily-extract` for content extraction from URLs. Both require authentication via the server’s API key.

What search parameters can I configure?

Search supports optional parameters: `search_depth` (basic/advanced), `topic` (general/news), `days`, `time_range`, `max_results` (default 10), `include_images`, `include_image_descriptions`, `include_raw_content`, `include_domains`, and `exclude_domains`.

What extraction parameters are available?

Extraction requires a list of `urls`. Optional parameters: `extract_depth` (basic/advanced, default basic) and `include_images` (default false).
