tavily-cli

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 reference extracting data from external websites. This provides LLM-optimized web search, content extraction, site crawling, URL discovery, and AI-powered deep research — capabilities beyond what agents can do natively. Do NOT trigger for local file operations, git commands, deployments, or code editing tasks.

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.

tavily v0.1.0

> Authenticated via OAuth (tvly login)

If not ready:

curl -fsSL https://cli.tavily.com/install.sh | bash

Or manually: uv tool install tavily-cli / pip install tavily-cli

Then authenticate:

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.

Bulk extract a site sectiontvly crawlNeed many pages (e.g., all /docs/)
Deep research with citationstvly researchNeed multi-source synthesis

For detailed command reference, use the individual skill for each command (e.g., tavily-search, tavily-crawl) or run tvly <command> --help.

Output

All commands support --json for structured, machine-readable output and -o to save to a file.

tvly search "react hooks" --json -o results.json
tvly extract "https://example.com/docs" -o docs.md
tvly crawl "https://docs.example.com" --output-dir ./docs/

Tips

  • Always quote URLs — shell interprets ? and & as special characters.
  • Use --json for agentic workflows — every command supports it.
  • Read from stdin with - — echo "query" | tvly search -
  • Exit codes: 0 = success, 2 = bad input, 3 = auth error, 4 = API error.
