SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill connects Tavily’s agentic search, extract, crawl, and research capabilities to a self-hosted Hermes agent so AI coding assistants can use web intelligence without manual setup.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Remote MCP Wiring: Registers Tavily as a first-party remote MCP server over SSH for a Hermes deployment.
  • Secure Credential Handling: Stores the tvly- API key in the Hermes environment file with permission safeguards and avoids leaking secrets in URLs or logs.
  • Validation and Recovery: Verifies token format, live REST access, MCP initialization, gateway reloads, smoke tests, and rollback safety.
  • Use Case: A developer wants Claude Code or Cursor on their machine to query Tavily through a VPS-hosted Hermes agent for search and research tasks.

Quick Start

Tell the AI to connect Tavily to your self-hosted Hermes agent by SSH using your VPS details and a valid tvly- API key.
