The Problem
OpenClaw agents need web search for grounding but Brave API requires a credit card (no longer free), DuckDuckGo has antibot mechanisms, and self-hosted search MCP servers require Docker setup and maintenance.
How Scavio Helps
- Hosted MCP at mcp.scavio.dev/mcp requires zero local setup
- Free tier (250/month) covers agent development and testing
- Five platforms from one MCP connection
- No Docker, no local server, no API key rotation
- Works with any MCP-compatible agent framework

Quick Start: Python Example
Here is a quick example searching Google for "An OpenClaw developer adds Scavio MCP to their agent config with one URL: https://mcp.scavio.dev/mcp. The agent immediately gains Google, Reddit, YouTube, Amazon, and Walmart search. Development uses 50 searches for testing (free tier). Production agent runs 200 searches/day at $1/day ($30/month).":
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 OpenClaw developers, ClawHub skill builders, agent developers needing simple search integration
Scavio handles the search infrastructure — proxies, CAPTCHAs, rate limits, and anti-bot detection — so you can focus on building your openclaw agent web search via mcp solution. The API returns structured JSON that is ready for processing, analysis, or feeding into AI agents.
Start with the free tier (250 credits/month, no credit card required) and scale to paid plans when you need higher volume.
