In this practical tutorial, we will learn to transparently connect Claude Desktop to web search and content extraction capacities by using TAVY AImodel context protocol server (MCP) and Drilling customer. We will start by examining the home page and the TAVY dashboard, where you generate your developer API key. Then, we will explore the MCP TAVY server in the Smithery interface, install and configure the TAVILY-MCP package for Claude via the Smithery flow “Add the server” and check the installation with a simple PowerShell command. Finally, you will see how Claude can invoke Tavily Tools, Tavily-Search and Tavily-Excrat, to recover and analyze the contents live of the sites. At the end of this tutorial, we will have a fully integrated pipeline which allows your workflows on the AI ​​of information per minute directly on the web.

Step 01: Go to TAVY AI Home page to register and access the TAVY API to configure the MCP server on the Claude desktop.

Step 2: Here, you see the TAVILY dashboard under the “researcher” plan, with an API use bar (0/1000 credits) and the development key generated (TVLY-DEV- …) ready to be copied to authenticate your requests.

Step 3: In the list of Smithery servers, the Tavier MCP server appears as a remote and digitized integration, with its two main tools, Tavily-Search and Tavily-Extract, detailed in the tool section.
