Connect Claude & ChatGPT to Tavily
Give your AI web search through your own Tavily account. It can search the web or the news with filters for time and domains, pull the readable content out of specific pages, crawl or map a whole website, and run a research task that returns a report with sources. It can also show how many Tavily credits you have used.
Free plan, no credit card. Takes about a minute.
Try asking
“Find news from the last week about EU rules for AI in hiring.”
The AI runs a news search limited to the past week and returns ranked results with snippets and links.
“Read these three pages and compare their pricing.”
It extracts the readable content of each URL, so the comparison is based on what the pages actually say.
“List every page under docs.example.com.”
It maps the site from that URL and returns the page URLs it finds, without extracting content.

Questions
What can the AI do in Tavily?
It can search the web, extract the content of pages you name, crawl a website and extract its pages, map a website's URLs, and start and read research tasks that return cited reports. It can also show your Tavily credit usage and limits.
Does the AI see my Tavily API key?
No. You paste your Tavily API key into PipMCP once. It is encrypted at rest, never shown to the AI and never shown again after you save it. The AI only gets the results of the tools you have switched on.
Can I control what the AI is allowed to do?
Yes. Switch on only the tools you want, for example search and page extraction without crawling or research. Any tool can be set to require your approval before it runs, which is useful for crawls and research tasks that use more credits. Every tool call is logged.
Does it work with ChatGPT?
Yes. In ChatGPT, open Settings › Apps & Connectors › Advanced, turn on Developer mode and add your PipMCP link. Developer mode needs a paid ChatGPT plan: Plus, Pro, Business or Enterprise. The same link also works in Claude (Settings › Connectors › Add custom connector), Cursor and other MCP clients.
What does it cost?
PipMCP has a free plan, and you do not need a credit card to start. Paid plans are billed per completed task. You connect your own Tavily account, so searches, extractions, crawls, maps and research use your Tavily credits.
Do Tavily calls use credits?
Yes. Search, extract, crawl, map and research all use credits on your Tavily account. The get_usage tool shows how many credits your key and account have used and what your limits are.
