Requirements

• Node.js 18+

• Tavily API keys

Install

npm install

Configuration

Set TAVILY_API_KEYS as a space, comma, or semicolon separated list:

export TAVILY_API_KEYS="tvly-dev-key-1 tvly-dev-key-2 tvly-dev-key-3"

On Windows PowerShell:

$env:TAVILY_API_KEYS="tvly-dev-key-1 tvly-dev-key-2 tvly-dev-key-3"

Run

npm start

npm start starts a stdio MCP server, so the terminal will wait for MCP input. This is expected.

OpenCode Config

Add this to your OpenCode opencode.json:

{
  "mcp": {
    "tavily-pool": {
      "type": "local",

      }
    }
  }
}
