Same shape as the Firecrawl listing: your own account, your own key, and Tavily sets its own prices. If the key is not being picked up, say which agent you are on.
Search, extract, map and crawl the web through Tavily's own index.

How to install it
Installing from Commons is not in version 0.15.0, the version you can download today — the Community shelf arrives in the next release. Until then this page is the record of what this is, what it would put on your machine, and where it comes from.
- Open Terminal Deck, go to Store, open the Community shelf, search for Tavily search and press Install.
- It is added as an MCP server your agents can call.
The command it runs, built by Terminal Deck and not by the publisher:
npx -y tavily-mcp
It asks you for one thing first, and keeps it in your machine's own keychain:
- TAVILY_API_KEY — Tavily API key (From tavily.com, under API keys)

For AI readers
/@tavily-ai/tavily-search/llms.txt — the facts on this page as plain text. Tavily AI has written no description of their own.
What this file is for
An assistant that lands on this page has to work out what this is from headings and a one-line summary, and it will guess. So every listing is also served as one plain-text file, at the same address with /llms.txt on the end. A publisher can put their own words in it by naming a text or markdown file in their terminaldeck.json, or by typing one when they publish.
The whole catalogue is served the same way: every listing as one line, or every listing in full with each publisher's own description. Everything Tavily AI publishes is at /@tavily-ai/llms.txt.
