npx -y tavily-mcp@latestWhy we picked it
Tavily is a search API purpose-built for AI agents, packaging search, extract, map and crawl into a single MCP server. It doesn't just return links — it cleans page content into structured, citation-ready results, sparing the agent from fetching and parsing itself. That makes it a natural fit for RAG and automated research.
Officially maintained, MIT-licensed and runnable locally, it starts with a single npx command. The free tier is friendly for individuals and prototypes, making it a solid choice when you want extraction and full-site crawling on top of plain web search.
