npx skills add https://github.com/tavily-ai/skillsNo setup required — Uses OAuth via the Tavily MCP server.
Important: You must have an existing Tavily account. The OAuth flow only supports login — account creation is not available through this flow. If you don't have an account, sign up at tavily.com first.
On first run, the script will:
- Check for existing tokens in
~/.mcp-auth/ - If none found, automatically open your browser for OAuth authentication
If you prefer using an API key, get one at https://tavily.com and add to ~/.claude/settings.json:
{
"env": {
"TAVILY_API_KEY": "tvly-your-api-key-here"
}
