What it does

Tavily Usage is an agent skill from fcakyon/claude-codex-settings. This skill should be used when user asks to "search the web", "fetch content from URL", "extract page content", "use Tavily search", "scrape this website", "get information from this link", or "web search for X".

Its SKILL.md is about 400 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Web search. It works with Tavily and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Battle-tested Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Cursor configs, plugins, hooks and agents with Kimi, MiniMax and GLM API support. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Asks to search the web
  • Fetch content from URL
  • Extract page content
  • Use Tavily search

Example prompts

  • “search the web”
  • “fetch content from URL”
  • “extract page content”
  • “/tavily-usage”

Requirements

  • A credential in TAVILY_API_KEY

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Use mcptavilytavily_search for discovery phase
  2. Analyze results to find relevant URLs
  3. Use mcptavilytavily-extract for detailed content on specific URLs
  4. Process extracted content for user needs

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7a519d8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • TAVILY_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Tavily Usage loads about 404 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 169 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~404

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Tavily Search and Extract

Use Tavily MCP tools for web search and content retrieval operations.

Tool Selection

Use for:

  • Keyword-based searches across the web
  • Finding relevant pages and content
  • Quick answer gathering
  • Multiple result discovery

Best for: Initial research, finding sources, broad queries

Tavily Extract (mcp__tavily__tavily-extract)

Use for:

  • Getting detailed content from specific URLs
  • Deep analysis of page content
  • Structured data extraction
  • Following up on search results

Best for: In-depth analysis, specific URL content, detailed information

Hook Behavior

tavily_extract_to_advanced.py hook automatically upgrades extract calls to advanced mode for better accuracy when needed.

Integration Pattern

  1. Use mcp__tavily__tavily_search for discovery phase
  2. Analyze results to find relevant URLs
  3. Use mcp__tavily__tavily-extract for detailed content on specific URLs
  4. Process extracted content for user needs

Environment Variables

Tavily MCP requires:

  • TAVILY_API_KEY - API key from Tavily (tvly-...)

Configure in shell before using the plugin.

Cost Considerations

  • Search is cheaper than extract
  • Use search to filter relevant URLs first
  • Only extract URLs that are likely relevant
  • Cache results when possible
