# Search with Tavily. Answer with sources.

Source: https://corespeed.io/integrations/tavily

Connect Tavily to Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any MCP agent through CoreSpeed. Your agent searches the web with an optional short answer, extracts clean text from the pages it picks, maps and crawls a site, and runs longer research jobs. It uses the Tavily API key you paste once, and each call spends your own Tavily credits.

## Set up an agent

Give your agent this line: `set up https://corespeed.io/SKILL.md (read it raw, e.g. with curl)`

It fetches the skill at https://corespeed.io/SKILL.md, adds the CoreSpeed MCP server, signs you in (or up), and keeps the skill for next time. Connect Tavily after setup. Access follows the connected account and its permissions. Create an account: https://app.corespeed.io/sign-up

## Ask once. Read the sources

Have your agent search with Tavily, extract the pages worth keeping, and hand back what changed with a link for each line.

You ask your agent: "Find this month’s release notes for the three databases we use. Extract them and list only the changes that could break our setup."

It calls CoreSpeed:

- `tavily__search`: ok, 940 ms
- `tavily__extract`: ok, 1310 ms

It reads from: Tavily.

### Release watch: Two changes to plan for.

One driver drops an old auth method. One default timeout gets shorter.

**Could break**

- The old password auth method is removed from the driver.
- The default query timeout drops from 60 to 30 seconds.

**Safe to skip**

- New dashboard charts.
- Docs fixes.

## From a question to the pages behind it

Requests you can make once Tavily is connected. The data is fictional.

### Search with a short answer

A quick answer, with results · Search

- Question: Which regions does the vendor host in?
- Results: Five pages, ranked
- Answer and links together

### Keep only the text

A pricing page, extracted · Extract

- Kept: Plans, prices and limits
- Dropped: Menus, footers and banners
- Clean text · One URL

### Research, then act on a site

Find it, then fill it in · Tavily + TinyFish

## Keep your agent. Bring your work

One CoreSpeed account, across compatible agents.

1. **Set up CoreSpeed**: Give your agent the setup line. It adds CoreSpeed and signs you in.
2. **Connect Tavily**: Authorize the account and the content you need.
3. **Start with one task**: Ask for a summary, a brief, or a draft. Review the answer.

## Questions

### Do I need my own Tavily account?

Yes. Paste a Tavily API key once in CoreSpeed. Your agents call Tavily without holding the key, and each call spends your Tavily credits.

### Is a research job a single call?

No. Your agent starts the research job, then checks its status until the report is ready.

### Can my agent check how many credits are left?

Yes. It can read your Tavily usage for the key and the account.

### Do I have to switch agents?

No. CoreSpeed adds tools to the agent you already use: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or another MCP client. Each one signs in once.

### Can my agent access every account in our organization?

No. Access follows your CoreSpeed identity, each connection's visibility, and the app's own permissions. Personal connections stay private.

### Does this work without connecting an account?

No. Connect the app's account first; your CoreSpeed workspace shows what each app needs. The examples on this page use fictional data. All connectors: https://corespeed.io/docs/connectors
