The Problem
Hermes Desktop Agent users report frequent web search failures where the built-in scraper times out, gets rate-limited, or returns stale results. The agent falls back to ungrounded LLM responses without indicating the search failure, leading to hallucinated information.
How Scavio Helps
- Eliminates web scraping failures and rate limiting
- MCP integration requires only a config file change
- Structured JSON results replace raw HTML parsing
- Multi-platform search adds Reddit and YouTube data
- Sub-2-second latency vs 3-8 second scraping

Quick Start: Python Example
Here is a quick example searching Google for "Hermes user adds Scavio MCP server URL to config. Agent asks 'what is the current price of Tavily?'. Previously, built-in scraper timed out 30% of the time. Now, MCP tool call returns structured result: 'Tavily: 1K free/mo, $30/mo for 10K'. Agent gives accurate response every time.":
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 Hermes Desktop Agent users, local AI agent enthusiasts, developers building agent workflows on desktop
