Connect Tavily to ChatGPT
Search, read and write Tavily from ChatGPT. Arlet links the two through one MCP connection and takes care of keys and authentication.
Use Tavily's official MCP server from the AI services you already use, through Arlet. Sign in with your Tavily account and the connection is ready.
Your AI can run agent-optimized web searches, extract page content, map site structures and crawl. Usage counts against the connected Tavily account's credits. To choose which API key the OAuth login uses, name a key mcp_auth_default in the Tavily dashboard.
