Status: Healthy

○ means optional and not configured. ✓ means active. ✗ means enabled but misconfigured.

Optional: Web Research (Tavily)

OrchestKit works out of the box with all 3 memory tiers (Graph, Local, CC Native). For enhanced web research, enable the Tavily MCP:

1. Get a free API key at app.tavily.com (1,000 credits/month free)

2. Set the key in your shell profile (~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc):

export TAVILY_API_KEY="tvly-your-key-here"

3. Enable the MCP in .mcp.json:

"tavily": {
  "command": "sh",
  "args": ["-c", "TAVILY_API_KEY=${TAVILY_API_KEY} exec npx -y tavily-mcp@latest"],
  "disabled": false
}

Without Tavily, web research falls back to WebFetch → agent-browser automatically.
