Tavily-Anet-MCP Server

What is Tavily-Anet-MCP Server?

A Rust implementation of the Model Control Protocol (MCP) server that integrates Tavily API for web search and content extraction via NATS transport. It is designed for developers building AI agent systems, LLM-based tools, or research automation that require up-to-date web information.

How to use Tavily-Anet-MCP Server?

Install Rust 1.70+, clone the repository, and add your Tavily API key and NATS URL to a .env file (keys: TAVILY_API_KEY, NATS_URL, MCP_SUBJECT). Start a NATS server, then run cargo run. Test the server with cargo run --example test_client.

Key features of Tavily-Anet-MCP Server

• Tavily Extract for raw content retrieval from URLs
• NATS transport layer for asynchronous message passing
• JSON-RPC 2.0 compatible API
• Asynchronous request handling with Tokio
• Advanced search including domain filtering and time ranges

Use cases of Tavily-Anet-MCP Server

• Provide real-time web search capabilities to AI agents via a standardized protocol
• Extract raw article or page content for research automation tools

• Perform time-sensitive news searches with configurable day ranges
• Enable AI agents to query structured web data without custom API integrations

FAQ from Tavily-Anet-MCP Server

What are the runtime requirements for Tavily-Anet-MCP Server?

Rust 1.70+ is required for building and running the server. A NATS server must be accessible (locally or via network), and a valid Tavily API key is needed.

How do I obtain a Tavily API key?

Get a Tavily API key from Tavily's website at https://tavily.com.

What transport does Tavily-Anet-MCP Server use?

The server uses NATS as its transport layer for message passing between clients and the server.

How can I test the server without a full setup?

Run the included test client with cargo run --example test_client, which sends sample requests (initialize, listTools, search, extract) and prints responses.

What tools does Tavily-Anet-MCP Server provide?

Two tools: tavily-search (web search with parameters like query, search_depth, topic, days, max_results, domain filters) and tavily-extract (extract raw content from URLs with extract_depth and include_images options).
