## About

Scavio connects an assistant to a web search and scraping API that returns structured JSON from 31 platforms, including Google, YouTube, Amazon, Walmart, Reddit, TikTok, Instagram, LinkedIn, travel, jobs, real-estate, app-store, ad-library and company-filing sources. It also offers page extraction and a usage check tool.

The server runs as a hosted streamable HTTP endpoint at https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp, or locally with npx (@scavio/mcp-server, Node.js 20+). Hosted use signs in with OAuth to a Scavio account, or accepts an x-api-key header. The local package needs SCAVIO\_API\_KEY. By default 107 tools load; the SCAVIO\_PLATFORMS setting selects other platforms, up to 192 tools.

## What it can do

- Search Google and get structured results
- Extract content from web pages
- Query product data from Amazon, Walmart, eBay and Target
- Read YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit and X data
- Look up jobs, real estate, travel and app-store listings
- Choose which platforms load to limit context size
- Check API usage with get\_usage

## Example prompts

- "Search Google for recent reviews of the Sony WH-1000XM6 headphones"
- "Compare the price of this product on Amazon and Walmart"
- "Find top Reddit threads about self-hosting Postgres"
- "Extract the main content from this article URL"

## Install

### Claude Code

1. Run this in a terminal, in your project folder:

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

2. Start Claude Code, type `/mcp`, pick **scavio** and choose **Authenticate**. A browser window opens for the Scavio sign-in.

Add `--scope user` to make it available in every project, not just this one.

### Claude Desktop

1. Open **Settings → Connectors** and click **Add custom connector**.

2. Name it **Scavio** and paste this URL:

```url
https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp
```

3. Click **Add**, then **Connect**, and sign in when Scavio asks.

Claude Desktop’s JSON config file only starts local servers. Remote servers go through Connectors, and connectors you add on claude.ai show up here too.

### claude.ai

1. Open the connector form on claude.ai. This button fills in the name and URL for you:

[Add to claude.ai](<https://claude.ai/customize/connectors?modal=add-custom-connector&connectorName=Scavio&connectorUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.scavio.dev%2Fmcp>) (opens connector settings)

2. Check that the URL reads `https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp` and click **Add**.

3. Click **Connect** and sign in when Scavio asks.

Free plans allow one custom connector. On Team and Enterprise plans an owner adds it under **Organization settings → Connectors**.

### ChatGPT

1. On chatgpt.com, open **Settings → Security and login** and turn on **Developer mode**.

2. Go to `chatgpt.com/plugins` and click **+** to create an app for a remote MCP server.

3. Paste `https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp` as the server URL and choose **OAuth**. ChatGPT sends you to Scavio to sign in.

Developer mode is available on the web for Plus, Pro, Business, Enterprise and Education accounts.

### Cursor

[Add to Cursor](<https://cursor.com/install-mcp?name=scavio&config=eyJ1cmwiOiJodHRwczovL21jcC5zY2F2aW8uZGV2L21jcCJ9>) (opens Cursor)

Or add it by hand to `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (all projects) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (this project):

`mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scavio": {
      "url": "https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Cursor shows **Needs login** next to the server. Click it to sign in.

### VS Code

[Install in VS Code](<https://vscode.dev/redirect/mcp/install?name=scavio&config=%7B%22type%22%3A%22http%22%2C%22url%22%3A%22https%3A%2F%2Fmcp.scavio.dev%2Fmcp%22%7D>) (opens VS Code)

Or from a terminal:

```bash
code --add-mcp '{"name":"scavio","type":"http","url":"https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp"}'
```

Or commit it to the repo in `.vscode/mcp.json`:

`.vscode/mcp.json`:

```json
{
  "servers": {
    "scavio": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

VS Code asks you to sign in the first time the server starts.

### Devin Desktop

1. Add it to `~/.config/devin/mcp_config.json` (macOS and Linux) or `%APPDATA%\devin\mcp_config.json` (Windows):

`mcp_config.json`:

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scavio": {
      "serverUrl": "https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

2. Refresh the MCP server list in Cascade and sign in when asked.

Devin Desktop is the new name for Windsurf. It reads `serverUrl` (or `url`) for remote servers.

### Codex

```bash
codex mcp add scavio --url https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp
codex mcp login scavio
```

Or edit `~/.codex/config.toml` directly:

`config.toml`:

```toml
[mcp_servers.scavio]
url = "https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp"
```

### Gemini CLI

```bash
gemini mcp add --transport http scavio https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp
```

Then, inside Gemini CLI, run `/mcp auth scavio` to sign in.

This adds it to the current project. Add `-s user` to use it everywhere.

### Any client

Most clients accept this shape. Some name the URL field differently: `serverUrl` in Devin Desktop, `httpUrl` in Gemini CLI’s settings file.

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "scavio": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```

Zed puts servers under `context_servers` in its settings. Cline needs `"type": "streamableHttp"`, or it assumes SSE.

Client only starts local servers? Bridge it with `npx -y mcp-remote https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp`.
