LLM-optimized web search and extraction

Official Tavily MCP server — a search API built for AI agents. Exposes real-time web search, content extraction, site mapping and crawling, returning clean structured results LLMs can act on. Get a free-tier API key (tvly-…), drop it in the config, and your agent can ground answers in current data. Runs locally via npx or as a hosted remote endpoint.
