tavily-mcp
Production ready MCP server with real-time search, extract, map & crawl.
The Lens
Tavily's MCP server gives your AI assistant real-time web search, page extraction, site mapping, and crawling. Ask your assistant to research something and it pulls live results instead of relying on training data.
Official, maintained by Tavily. Setup requires an API key from tavily.com. Free tier gives you 1,000 searches per month. Paid plans start at $100/mo for higher volume. The search quality is solid for research and fact-checking tasks.
Install this if your AI workflow involves regular web research. The free tier is enough to evaluate it properly. The catch: API key required, and heavy usage means paying. If you only need occasional searches, a free alternative might be enough.
