Tavily Search

Tavily Search Toolkit (V2)

This skill provides a single Node CLI with subcommands:

• search — web search with filters and multiple output formats
• extract — fetch clean content from one or more URLs
• crawl — crawl a site with extraction controls
• map — discover and map site URLs

Requirements

Set TAVILY_API_KEY via one of:

• env var: TAVILY_API_KEY=...
• ~/.openclaw/.env line: TAVILY_API_KEY=...

Quick examples

# 1) Search (Brave-like structure)
node {baseDir}/scripts/tavily_search.mjs search \
  --query "OpenClaw multi-agent" --max-results 5 --format brave

# 2) Search with domain filters
node {baseDir}/scripts/tavily_search.mjs search \
  --query "周大福" \
  --include-domains ctf.com.cn,ctfmall.com,chowtaifook.com \
  --format brave

# 3) Extract specific URLs
node {baseDir}/scripts/tavily_search.mjs extract \
  --urls https://docs.openclaw.ai,https://docs.tavily.com \
  --content-format markdown --format md

# 4) Crawl docs site
node {baseDir}/scripts/tavily_search.mjs crawl \
  --url docs.tavily.com --max-depth 2 --limit 30 --format md

# 5) Map a site structure
node {baseDir}/scripts/tavily_search.mjs map \
  --url docs.openclaw.ai --max-depth 2 --limit 40 --format md

Proxy controls

• Inherit system proxy env by default (HTTP_PROXY / HTTPS_PROXY)
• Force proxy: --proxy http://127.0.0.1:7890
• Disable proxy: --no-proxy

Notes

• Keep max-results small (3–5) for chat tasks.
• Use search --format brave for stable downstream parsing.
• Use extract/crawl/map only when search snippets are insufficient.
