Description

This server provides a search tool and MCP resources that enable agents to run AI-powered web searches using the Tavily API, returning scored results, snippets, and AI-generated summaries. It includes persistent disk-backed storage and caching (data/searches.json) so results and the last search survive restarts. The server supports configurable search depths (basic or advanced), response time tracking, and integrates with MCP clients such as Cline and Claude Desktop. Resources expose both static and dynamic access patterns (e.g., tavily://last-search/result and tavily://search/{query}).
