01What it is
Tavily's MCP server gives an agent a search engine built for LLMs: real-time web search, clean content extraction, site mapping, and systematic crawling. It's the retrieval layer for research and grounding agents that need fresh, citable web data.
Who it’s for: Research and RAG agents that need current, structured web information — not a stale training cutoff.
