tavily-search
Web search with LLM-optimized results, content snippets, and relevance scores.
What it does
- You need to find information on any topic
- You don't have a specific URL yet
- First step in the workflow: search → extract → map → crawl → research
- Keep queries under 400 characters — think search query, not prompt.
- Break complex queries into sub-queries for better results.
- Use --include-raw-content when you need full page text (saves a separate extract call).
- Use --include-domains to focus on trusted sources.
