WEB RESEARCH

Search is only the first step.

Eight read-only tools for search, extraction, mapping, crawling, research jobs, and usage.

Provider-native

Choose basic Tavily for search

Use Tavily's basic MCP setup when search and URL extraction are sufficient and provider-style API-key configuration is acceptable.

  • Simple search and extraction
  • Familiar provider setup
Quilr-managed

Choose Quilr for the research lifecycle

Use Quilr when agents also need site mapping, bounded crawling, asynchronous deep research, usage reporting, and managed authentication.

  • Eight read-only tools
  • Search through research-job completion
Decision signalFor only search and retrieval, use the smaller Web Search surface. Choose Tavily when the workflow genuinely needs research depth.
