Implementation Reference
- server.py:43-59 (handler)The main handler function for the 'web_search' tool, decorated with @mcp.tool() for registration. It uses TavilyClient to perform the web search and returns the results or an error message.
@mcp.tool() def web_search(query: str) -> str: """ Search the web for information using Tavily API. Args: query: Search query string Returns: Search results context from Tavily """ try: search_results = tavily_client.get_search_context(query=query) return search_results except Exception as e: return f"Error performing web search: {str(e)}" - server.py:43-43 (registration)The @mcp.tool() decorator registers the web_search function as an MCP tool.
@mcp.tool() - server.py:40-40 (helper)Initialization of the TavilyClient used by the web_search tool.
tavily_client = TavilyClient(os.getenv("TAVILY_API_KEY")) - Helper logic in the LangGraph tool executor node that invokes the web_search MCP tool.
