A single hosted server athttps://mcp.scavio.dev/mcpgives any MCP-compatible client the full tool set -- nothing to install, just add the URL and your API key.
Scavio's remote MCP server is a cost-effective Tavily and SerpAPI alternative that any Model Context Protocol client can connect to over Streamable HTTP. Authenticate with your API key via thex-api-keyheader and your assistant gains real-time search across Google, YouTube, Amazon, Walmart, Reddit, TikTok, and Instagram. The sections below cover setup for the most common clients -- Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, ChatGPT, Cline, Zed, and the Claude apps -- plus a universal config for anything else.
- Get your API key atdashboard.scavio.dev
- ReplaceYOUR_SCAVIO_API_KEYin the examples below with your actual key
Run this single command in your terminal:
claude mcp add --transport http scavio https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp \ --header "x-api-key: YOUR_SCAVIO_API_KEY"
To add it to a shared project config (checked into version control), use--scope project:
claude mcp add --transport http --scope project scavio https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp \ --header "x-api-key: YOUR_SCAVIO_API_KEY"
Alternatively, add the JSON config directly:
claude mcp add-json scavio '{ "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp", "headers": { "x-api-key": "YOUR_SCAVIO_API_KEY" } }'
- Open Claude Desktop
