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generates code from training data, which means API endpoints, library versions, and configuration patterns may be outdated.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
Web search with knowledge graph, PAA, and AI overviews

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")Built for Cursor IDE users, developers using AI coding assistants, teams standardizing AI-assisted development workflows
Scavio handles the search infrastructure — proxies, CAPTCHAs, rate limits, and anti-bot detection — so you can focus on building your mcp search tool for cursor ide solution. The API returns structured JSON that is ready for processing, analysis, or feeding into AI agents.
