Scavio MCP Server

Scavio is a unified Web Search API and MCP server that connects AI agents to Google, YouTube, Amazon, Walmart, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, X, LinkedIn, and TikTok Shop. 103 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 mcp add scavio -e SCAVIO_API_KEY=YOUR_SCAVIO_API_KEY -- npx -y @scavio/mcp-server

TikTok Shop API

Two things to know: get_tiktok_shop_product does not return a price (TikTok masks it on the
product page upstream) - exact prices come from search_tiktok_shop,
get_tiktok_shop_shop_products and get_tiktok_shop_category_products. And only about 44% of the
product IDs returned by search resolve on get_tiktok_shop_product (11 of 25 measured), because
upstream has no detail data for the rest. That miss is signalled by the HTTP 404 status, not by any
field in the response body, and it is a normal outcome rather than an error to retry - the tool
returns it as a plain result with status: "no_detail_data" so agents skip the product instead of
looping. For an id that will not resolve, get_tiktok_shop_product_reviews is often still usable:
across 8 measured ids that failed on detail, 8 of 8 returned HTTP 200 on reviews and 7 of 8 returned
at least one review.
