This project is a demonstration of the MCP (Model Context Protocol) server, which utilizes the Tavily API for web search capabilities. The server is designed to run in a standard input/output (stdio) transport mode.

Project Overview

The MCP server is set up to handle web search queries using the Tavily API. It is built with the following key components:

• TavilyClient: A client for interacting with the Tavily API to perform web searches.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.13 or higher
• A valid Tavily API key

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone <repository-url>
   cd <repository-directory>
   

2. Configure environment variables: Copy the .env.sample to .env and add your Tavily API key:

   TAVILY_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
   

Running the MCP Server

To start the MCP server, you will need to add the following to your MCP Profile in Cursor:

{
    "mcpServers":  {
        "websearch-server": {
            "command" : "uv",
            "args" : ["--directory", "/PATH/TO/REPOSITORY", "run", "server.py"]
        }
    }
}

The server will start and listen for commands via standard input/output.

Usage

The server provides a web_search tool that can be used to search the web for information about a given query. This is achieved by calling the web_search function with the desired query string.
