Fixes #112

On zsh (the default shell on macOS since Catalina), the ? character in
URLs is treated as a glob pattern. When no files match, zsh throws
"no matches found" before the command can execute.

This affects the two claude mcp add commands in the README that include
?tavilyApiKey= in the URL. Wrapping them in single quotes prevents
glob expansion on both zsh and bash.


Note

Low Risk
Low risk documentation-only change that adjusts README shell command examples to avoid zsh glob expansion on ? in URLs.

Overview
Updates the README’s Claude Code setup examples to wrap the https://mcp.tavily.com/mcp/?tavilyApiKey=... URL in single quotes, preventing zsh from treating ? as a glob and failing before the command runs.
