}TAVILY_API_KEYI built this MCP server back in early March of 2025 when the MCP protocol was brand new and there were no consistent ways to do search in chatbots, predating other implementations.
Since then, the good folks at Tavily have released their official Tavily MCP server which is well-maintained and in sync with their latest capabilities. Therefore, I'm now deprecating this server in favor of theirs.
