Vellum Integration

Integrate Scavio with Vellum to give your agents and workflows real-time search across Google, YouTube, Amazon, Walmart, Reddit, TikTok, and Instagram.

MCP or inline code

Add Scavio as an MCP server for the full catalog, or drop in a small inline function tool -- both self-serve, no Vellum-side setup.

Introduction

Vellum's tool-calling and Agent nodes support external tools via MCP servers and inline code. Either way, your agent can search the live web. It is a cost-effective Tavily and SerpAPI alternative.

Step-by-Step Integration Guide

Step 1: Get your API key

Grab a key at dashboard.scavio.dev.

Step 2 (Option A): Add Scavio as an MCP server

In your Agent or tool-calling node, add an MCP Server tool:

URL: https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp
Headers: x-api-key: YOUR_SCAVIO_API_KEY

Step 2 (Option B): Add an inline code tool

Python

import os
import requests

def scavio_search(query: str) -> list[dict]:
    """Search the web in real time with Scavio."""
    res = requests.post(
        "https://api.scavio.dev/api/v2/google",
        headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {os.environ['SCAVIO_API_KEY']}"},
        json={"query": query, "light_request": True},
        timeout=30,
    )
    res.raise_for_status()
    return res.json().get("organic_results", [])

Step 3: Run the agent

The agent now calls Scavio whenever a task needs fresh information.

Available Tools

Via MCP, the full Scavio catalog is available -- Google Search, News, Maps, Shopping, YouTube, Amazon, Walmart, Reddit, TikTok, and Instagram. See the MCP reference.

Benefits of Scavio + Vellum
