Tavily Search and Extract

Use Tavily MCP tools for web search and content retrieval operations.

Tool Selection

Tavily Search (`mcptavilytavily_search`)

Use for:

Keyword-based searches across the web
Finding relevant pages and content
Quick answer gathering
Multiple result discovery

Best for: Initial research, finding sources, broad queries

Tavily Extract (`mcptavilytavily-extract`)

Use for:

Getting detailed content from specific URLs
Deep analysis of page content
Structured data extraction
Following up on search results

Best for: In-depth analysis, specific URL content, detailed information

Hook Behavior

tavily_extract_to_advanced.py hook automatically upgrades extract calls to advanced mode for better accuracy when needed.

Integration Pattern

Use mcp__tavily__tavily_search for discovery phase
Analyze results to find relevant URLs
Use mcp__tavily__tavily-extract for detailed content on specific URLs
Process extracted content for user needs

Environment Variables

Tavily MCP requires:

TAVILY_API_KEY - API key from Tavily (tvly-...)

Configure in shell before using the plugin.

Cost Considerations

Search is cheaper than extract
Use search to filter relevant URLs first
Only extract URLs that are likely relevant
Cache results when possible
