Overview

The ModuleX Tavily Search integration lets a ModuleX agent operate Tavily Search on your behalf — working across web searches, answer searches and news searches — directly from a plain-English request, using your organization's own Tavily Search credentials. No pre-built workflow is required: the agent picks the right Tavily Search action for the task.

Tavily Search is a web search & scraping platform. ModuleX adds the agent layer: ask for an outcome and it selects and runs the right Tavily Search action — or, when you want a repeatable process, the composer assembles a Tavily Search workflow for you, streaming the nodes onto the canvas as it builds.

Ask the assistant

Security

Connecting Tavily Search

API keyTavily Search uses API-key authentication. You provide your own Tavily Search secret key; ModuleX encrypts it and scopes it to your organization, so your whole team can use Tavily Search without re-authenticating.

ModuleX-managed keyTavily Search runs on a ModuleX-managed key — there's nothing to set up. It works the moment you enable it, with usage metered through your ModuleX account.

Step-by-step setup in the Tavily Search docs

Pairs well with Tavily Search

Agents often chain Tavily Search with these — connect them once and the agent can use all of them in a single task.
