# Tavily Search

> Use this tool when you need to retrieve current information from the web without direct internet access, and integrate web search capabilities into AI assistants. It solves problems of information retrieval and provides up-to-date data, accepting queries and search depth parameters as input and returning text-based results with AI-generated responses, URIs, and titles. Ideal for use in environments like Claude Desktop, Cursor, or local setups where cross-platform compatibility is required.

## Description

This metasearch MCP server integrates with the Tavily API to provide AI assistants with web search capabilities. Built by YeonwooSung, it offers a single 'search' tool that accepts queries and optional search depth parameters, returning results in text format that include AI-generated responses, URIs, and titles. The implementation is containerized with Docker for cross-platform compatibility and can be used with Claude Desktop, Cursor, or in a local environment. It's particularly useful for AI assistants that need to retrieve current information from the web without requiring direct internet access themselves.
