How is this different from connecting Tavily MCP directly?

Connected directly, an agent sees every tool the server exposes and holds the credential itself. Through TrustGate you choose which tools each agent gets, and every call is logged against the agent that made it.

What if the Tavily MCP API changes?

We track the Tavily MCP schema, so the tool catalogue stays current. Tools you have already allowed keep working, and anything new stays denied until you enable it.

Can I give different agents different Tavily tools?

Yes. Access is set per agent: one can get a handful of read tools, another the full set. You grant the whole MCP or single tools within it.

Where can I see what my agents did in Tavily?

Every call is logged against the agent that made it, with the tool it used. Activity can be sent on to your own monitoring.

Do I need to run the Tavily MCP server myself?

No. TrustGate connects to the Tavily MCP server and sits in front of it. Your agent only talks to your TrustGate URL, never to Tavily directly.

Connect Tavily MCP to your AI agents, securely.

Q: Is Tavily MCP secure?

The server itself exposes 5 tools, and some of them can write to your Tavily account. Behind TrustGate an agent only sees the tools you allow, requests and responses are inspected, and every call is logged. Anything outside the allowlist is denied before it reaches Tavily.

One secured endpoint for every Tavily call your AI agents make, scoped per user, inspected, and logged.

What Tavily MCP exposes

Tavily MCP groups its 5 tools into 3 categories, each with a suggested starting policy.

Category	Covers	Access	Suggested policy
Search & Extract	Web search with depth, time range, date bounds, domain include and exclude lists and country boosting, plus content extraction from a list of URLs	Read	Treat every returned snippet and page as untrusted input, never as instructions
Crawl & Map	Crawling a site from a root URL with depth, breadth and path or domain regex filters, and mapping a site's URL structure	Read / Write	Cap max_depth, max_breadth and limit; allow_external defaults to true, so a crawl can leave the starting domain
Research & Feedback	Autonomous multi-source research and submitting relevance feedback on a search request or session	Read / Write	Research is rate-limited to 20 requests a minute and the pro model can run for up to 15 minutes; approve and bound it
