Web search, content extraction, crawling, and deep research via the Tavily CLI. Use this skill whenever the user wants to search the web, find articles, research a topic, look something up online, extract content from a URL, grab text from a webpage, crawl documentation, download a site's pages, discover URLs on a domain, or conduct in-depth research with citations. Also use when they say "fetch this page", "pull the content from", "get the page at https://", "find me articles about", or…
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 CLI Web search, content extraction, site crawling, URL discovery, and deep research. Returns JSON optimized for LLM consumption. Run `tvly --help` or `tvly <command> --help` for full option details. ## Prerequisites Must be installed and authenticated. Check with `tvly --status`. ```bash tavily v0.1.0 > Authenticated via OAuth (tvly login) ``` If not ready: ```bash curl -fsSL https://cli.tavily.com/install.sh | bash ``` Or manually: `uv tool install tavily-cli` / `pip install tavily-cli` Then authenticate: ```bash tvly login --api-key tvly-YOUR_KEY # or: export TAVILY_API_KEY=tvly-YOUR_KEY # or: tvly login (opens browser for OAuth) ``` ## Workflow Follow this escalation pattern — start simple, escalate when needed: 1. **Search** — No specific URL. Find pages, answer questions, discover sources. 2. **Extract** — Have a URL. Pull its content directly. 3. **Map** — Large site, need to find the right page. Discover URLs first. 4. **Crawl** — Need bulk content from an entire site section. 5. **Research** — Need comprehensive, multi-source analysis with citations. | Need | Command | When | |------|---------|------| …

How to install
mdr add ethanyoq/skill-hub/tavily-cli@sha256:aa8cee0e8dbf3bb9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260919.e8b19bf, 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.
