Remote MCP Server
Connect directly to Tavily's remote MCP server instead of running it locally. This provides a seamless experience without requiring local installation or configuration.
Simply use the remote MCP server URL with your Tavily API key:
``
https://mcp.tavily.com/mcp/?tavilyApiKey=
Get your Tavily API key from tavily.com.
Alternatively, you can pass your API key through an Authorization header if the MCP client supports this:
Authorization: Bearer
json {"include_images":true, "search_depth": "basic", "max_results": 10}Note: When using the remote MCP, you can specify default parameters for all requests by including aDEFAULT_PARAMETERSheader containing a JSON object with your desired defaults. Example:
bash claude mcp add --transport http tavily https://mcp.tavily.com/mcp/?tavilyApiKey=claude mcp addConnect to Claude Code
Claude Code is Anthropic's official CLI tool for Claude. You can add the Tavily MCP server using the
command. There are two ways to authenticate:#### Option 1: API Key in URL
Pass your API key directly in the URL. Replace
with your actual Tavily API key:
#### Option 2: OAuth Authentication FlowAdd the server without an API key in the URL:
bash claude mcp add --transport http --scope user tavily https://mcp.tavily.com/mcp/?tavilyApiKey=After adding, you'll need to complete the authentication flow: 1. Runclaudeto start Claude Code 2. Type/mcpto open the MCP server management 3. Select the Tavily server and complete the authentication process--scope userTip: Add
to either command to make the Tavily MCP server available globally across all your projects:
json { "mcpServers": { "tavily-remote-mcp": { "command": "npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.tavily.com/mcp/?tavilyApiKey=", "env": {} } } } ``Once configured, you'll have access to the Tavily search, extract, map, and crawl tools.mcp.jsonConnect to Cursor

You can get a Tavily API key here.
once you click the button you should be redirect to Cursor ...
Step 1
Click the install buttonStep 2
You should see the MCP is now installed, if the blue slide is not already turned on, manually turn it on. You also need to edit the configuration to include your own Tavily API key.
Step 3
You will then be redirected to yourfile where you have to addyour-api-key.
Remote MCP Server OAuth Flow
The Tavily Remote MCP server supports secure OAuth authentication, allowing you to connect and authorize seamlessly with compatible clients.
#### How to Set Up OAuth Authentication
A. Using MCP Inspector:
Once finished, you will receive an access token that lets you securely make authenticated requests to the Tavily Remote MCP server.
B. Using other MCP Clients (Example: Cursor):
You can configure your MCP client to use OAuth without including your Tavily API key in the URL. For example,
