Real-time web search using Tavily API - search the web, extract page content, and get up-to-date information for RAG and research tasks.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Tavily Search Skill

Real-time web search and content extraction using the Tavily API.

## Usage

```
/tavily-search <query>
/tavily-search extract <url>
```

## Modes

| Mode | Description | Best For |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `search` (default) | Keyword-based web search | Initial research, finding sources |
| `extract` | Deep content extraction from URL | Detailed analysis, specific pages |

## Setup

Set the `TAVILY_API_KEY` environment variable:

```bash
export TAVILY_API_KEY=tvly-your-api-key-here
```

## Integration Pattern

1. Use `search` for the discovery phase
2. Analyze results to find relevant URLs
3. Use `extract` for detailed content on specific URLs
4. Process extracted content for user needs

## Options

| Option | Values | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `search_depth` | `basic`, `advanced` | Search depth (advanced costs more) |
| `max_results` | 1-20 | Maximum results to return |
| `include_answer` | boolean | Include AI-generated answer summary |

## Cost Considerations

- Search is cheaper than extract
- Use search to filter relevant URLs first
- Only extract URLs that are likely relevant
- `basic` depth is sufficient for most queries

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add chainlesschain/chainlesschain/tavily-search@sha256:e8051312e9824d71

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
