Scavio for MCP Search Tool for Cursor IDE

The Problem

Cursor's AI assistant generates code from training data, which means API endpoints, library versions, and configuration patterns may be outdated. Adding a search MCP tool lets Cursor verify current documentation and pull live examples without browser tab-switching.

How Scavio Helps

• One-time MCP config, then search is always available in Cursor
• Agent verifies library versions before generating import code
• Pull current API documentation snippets during development
• Reddit search surfaces real developer experiences with libraries
• Cost: $0.005 per search, typical session uses 5-10 searches ($0.025-$0.05)

Relevant Platforms

Quick Start: Python Example

Here is a quick example searching Google for "A developer asks Cursor to integrate Stripe's latest API. Cursor's agent searches 'Stripe API v2026 changelog' ($0.005) and 'Stripe payment intents latest' ($0.005) to verify the current API version and parameter names. The generated code uses the correct API version instead of the 18-month-old version from training data. 10 minutes saved debugging version mismatches. Cost: $0.01.":

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")
