Tavily Search and Extract

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

Tool Selection

Tavily Search (`mcp__tavily__tavily_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 (`mcp__tavily__tavily-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

1. Use `mcp__tavily__tavily_search` for discovery phase 2. Analyze results to find relevant URLs 3. Use `mcp__tavily__tavily-extract` for detailed content on specific URLs 4. 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
