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.
