The Problem
Two May 2026 r/posts (token-cost MCPs cutting Claude Code 40% and Qwen3 35B routing cutting bulk by 20×) make the case. Real gains exist but are workload-specific.
How Scavio Helps
- Semble cuts grep+read fanout on large repos by ~98%
- Scavio replaces 5-8 narrow web tools with one MCP
- Optional Qwen3-on-Nosana MCP routes summarize/classify steps to ~$0.10/M
- Measure before/after; do not assume gains
- Per-week cost drops 30-50% for heavy users

Quick Start: Python Example
Here is a quick example searching Google for "Heavy user adds three MCPs: Semble (in-repo) + Scavio (out-of-repo) + local-LLM-routing for bulk. Two-week before/after diff: input tokens per message drop ~40%, output tokens on bulk steps drop ~80%.":
import requests
API_KEY = "your_scavio_api_key"
response = requests.post(
"https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search",
headers={
"x-api-key": API_KEY,
"Content-Type": "application/json",
},
json={"query": query},
)
data = response.json()
for result in data.get("organic_results", [])[:5]:
print(f"{result['position']}. {result['title']}")
print(f" {result['link']}\n")Built for Heavy Claude Code users, agencies billing per-message agent time, startups paying $200+/mo per developer in tokens
Scavio handles the search infrastructure — proxies, CAPTCHAs, rate limits, and anti-bot detection — so you can focus on building your claude code token cost mcp stack solution. The API returns structured JSON that is ready for processing, analysis, or feeding into AI agents.
