Web search, content extraction, site crawling, URL discovery, and AI-powered research using Tavily API via curl. Use when user needs web search results, current events, news, finance data, content from URLs, site-wide extraction, or multi-topic research with citations. Trigger phrases: 'search the web', 'find online', 'extract from URL', 'crawl site', 'research topic', 'latest news about', 'web search', 'tavily'.
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.

How to install
mdr add lu1sdv/skillsmd/tavily-web@sha256:509c079e4f90fbf0The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.0.0, 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.
