This server connects MCP clients to the Tavily search API so that a model can run web research through tool calls. The README carries a deprecation notice from the author: it was written in early March 2025 when MCP was new and no consistent search integration existed, and it is now deprecated in favour of the official Tavily MCP server, which stays in sync with the vendor current capabilities. Three tools are documented. The web search tool runs a general query with AI-powered content extraction and accepts a maximum result count capped at twenty, a search depth of basic or advanced, and lists of domains to include or exclude. The answer search tool runs the same kind of query but returns a direct generated answer with supporting evidence, defaulting to advanced depth. The news search tool retrieves recent articles with publication dates and adds a parameter for how many days back to look, defaulting to three. Each of the three also ships as a prompt template, so a client can offer them as ready-made prompts rather than only as raw tool calls. The server requires Python 3.11 or later and a Tavily API key, which can be supplied through a dotenv file in the project directory as well as other documented routes. Installation is available from PyPI with pip or uv, or from source with a virtual environment followed by uv sync and uv build; a development extra installs test dependencies. The README also documents Visual Studio Code integration, including one-click install links and a JSON block that registers the server under uvx with the API key collected as a masked prompt input, storable in user settings or a workspace file for sharing.
