SpecStream for Tavily CLI

SpecStream is the live web data engine for teams and agents. Two environment variables point the Tavily CLI at SpecStream. tvly search, extract and map keep their commands and output, and each search of up to 10 results costs $1 per 1,000.

What you get

No new commands
tvly search, tvly extract and tvly map work as before. Only TAVILY_API_BASE_URL and TAVILY_API_KEY change.
Five queries at once
tvly search runs up to five queries in parallel, and each one is one search at $1 per 1,000.
Agent skills keep working
The Tavily skills that tvly init installs for Claude Code and Codex run tvly, so they search through SpecStream too.

Set it up

  1. Install the CLI with uv tool install tavily-cli.
  2. Set TAVILY_API_BASE_URL to https://api.specstream.ai/tavily and TAVILY_API_KEY to your SpecStream key.
  3. Run tvly auth, then tvly search with a question.
