What is Semble?
Local code search MCP server for Claude Code that returns matching ranges instead of full files, cutting input tokens on large repos by ~98% per the project's launch benchmark. Pairs naturally with Scavio MCP — Semble for in-repo code lookups, Scavio for out-of-repo grounding (framework docs, GitHub issues, Stack Overflow). Two named MCPs, no overlap, clean tool surface for Claude Code.
Searching Google Scholar with Semble
This integration lets your Semble 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
// Install per Semble repo README; then claude mcp add semble <semble-url>Code Example
Here is a complete Semble agent that searches Google Scholar using Scavio:
# Generic HTTP integration for Semble
# 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.
