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. 99 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

The upstream provider retired the datasets behind member contact info, the company employee directory, per-company job listings, people search and post search, so those five tools were removed. get_linkedin_company still returns a small sample of featured employees, and search_linkedin_jobs with a company name substitutes for per-company listings.

TikTok Shop API

Tool	Description
search_tiktok_shop	Search TikTok Shop products by keyword (US catalog, exact prices)
get_tiktok_shop_search_suggestions	Keyword autocomplete for a partial query, 8 regions
get_tiktok_shop_product	Full product detail (no price; ~44% of search IDs resolve)
get_tiktok_shop_product_reviews	Paginated product reviews, up to 200 per call
get_tiktok_shop_categories	The global category tree (28 top-level, 240 nodes)
get_tiktok_shop_category_products	List products under a category ID, with exact prices
get_tiktok_shop_shop_products	List a seller's catalog, 30 per page, with exact prices
resolve_tiktok_shop_url	Resolve a TikTok Shop URL or share link to a product/shop ID

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.

Account

Tool	Description
get_usage	Check credit balance, plan, and usage stats
