tavily-cli

Install and authenticate the Tavily CLI (`tvly`) in a coding-agent terminal. Use only when the user asks to install tvly, run tvly login, or check CLI status, or when a terminal session has no callable Tavily MCP tools. Not for ordinary web search, extraction, mapping, crawling, or research.

Tavily CLI

Install and authenticate tvly for terminal coding agents. Capability choice (search, extract, map, crawl, research) lives in those skills. Arguments live in tvly <command> --help.

Do not use this skill on a native plugin host where Tavily MCP tools are callable.

Install

Check first:

tvly --version

If missing:

curl -fsSL https://cli.tavily.com/install.sh | bash

Alternatives: uv tool install tavily-cli or pip install tavily-cli. Then confirm tvly --version. If the sandbox blocked the install, retry with sandbox disabled or have the user run the installer in their own terminal.

Authenticate

tvly --status
tvly login

Prefer browser OAuth. Do not ask the user to paste an API key into chat. tvly login --api-key or TAVILYAPIKEY only when the user already has a key and chose that path.

After install

Every tvly search, extract, map, crawl, and research call, including research status and poll, must include --client-name "cursor plugin". Use --json for agentic output. Quote URLs. Exit codes: 0 success, 2 bad input, 3 auth, 4 API.
