What is Pi Coding Agent?
Minimal terminal coding harness with only four tools (read, write, edit, bash) built for extensibility over built-in features. Uses TypeScript extensions, skills, and prompt overrides. Ship Scavio as a first-class search extension to plug real web data into any pi session.
Searching Google Scholar with Pi Coding Agent
This integration lets your Pi Coding Agent agent search Google Scholar in real time via the Scavio API. The agent gets back structured JSON with paper titles, paper URLs, SERP snippets -- ready for reasoning and decision-making.
Setup
npm install -g @mariozechner/pi-coding-agentCode Example
Here is a complete Pi Coding Agent agent that searches Google Scholar using Scavio:
// Generic HTTP integration for Pi Coding Agent
// Point your framework's HTTP request tool at:
//
// POST https://api.scavio.dev/api/v2/google
// Authorization: Bearer sk_live_your_key
// Content-Type: application/json
// {"query":"your search query"}
//
// Rows come back under organic_results.
//
// Scavio has no Google Scholar endpoint, so citation counts and author lists are not available. This runs a Google web search - narrow it with site:arxiv.org or filetype:pdf.
