Scavio MCP Server

Scavio is a unified Web Search API and MCP server that connects AI agents to Google, YouTube, Amazon, Walmart, TikTok, Instagram, and Reddit. 46 tools for web search, product lookup, video discovery, and social media data through a single Search API endpoint.

Remote MCP Server

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

https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp

Pass your API key via 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 SCAVIO_API_KEY.

Claude Code

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