Scavio MCP server

Scavio MCP Server

Scavio is a unified Web Search API and MCP server that gives AI agents web search, page extraction, and structured data from e-commerce, social, travel, jobs, real-estate, app-store, ad-library and company-filing sources. 191 tools across 31 platforms plus Extract, one API key.

The 22 platforms added in 0.13.0 are opt-in. Registering all 191 tools puts 136KB of tool definitions — roughly 35k tokens — into every session before you type anything. So the default is the surface 0.12.x already had, plus Extract: 106 tools, 63KB. Upgrading never removes a tool you were using. Everything else is one env var away: see Choosing which tools load.

Remote MCP Server

Connect directly to Scavio's remote MCP server without any local installation:

https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp

Two ways to authenticate:

• Sign in with OAuth, no key to copy. Claude Desktop, claude.ai and Claude Code sign in to your Scavio account through the server. In Claude Desktop or claude.ai: Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, name it Scavio, paste the URL, then Connect and Authorize. In Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http scavio https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp, then run /mcp and choose Authenticate.
• API key. Pass it in the x-api-key header. Get your key at scavio.dev.

Run Locally (npx)

Prefer to run the server on your own machine? Use npx with no clone or build. The server runs over stdio and only needs your SCAVIOAPIKEY.

Claude Code

claude mcp add scavio -e SCAVIO_API_KEY=YOUR_SCAVIO_API_KEY -- npx -y @scavio/mcp-server

Any MCP-Compatible Client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, etc.)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scavio": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@scavio/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "SCAVIO_API_KEY": "YOUR_SCAVIO_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Requires Node.js 20+. Get your API key at scavio.dev.

Install

Claude Code

Sign in with OAuth, then run /mcp inside Claude Code and choose Authenticate:

claude mcp add --transport http scavio https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp

Or pass an API key:

claude mcp add --transport http scavio https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp --header "x-api-key: YOUR_SCAVIO_API_KEY"

Claude Desktop

No API key needed: Settings > Connectors > Add custom connector, name it Scavio, paste https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp, then Connect and sign in to your Scavio account. The same steps work on claude.ai.

Or run the server locally. Add to claudedesktopconfig.json (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claudedesktopconfig.json on macOS, %APPDATA%\Claude\claudedesktopconfig.json on Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scavio": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@scavio/mcp-server"],
      "env": {
        "SCAVIO_API_KEY": "YOUR_SCAVIO_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Requires Node.js 20+. Restart Claude Desktop after saving.

Cursor

Or add to .cursor/mcp.json in your project root or ~/.cursor/mcp.json for global:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scavio": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp",
      "headers": {
        "x-api-key": "YOUR_SCAVIO_API_KEY"
      }
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add to ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json:
